Summary:

Lake Stevens School District serves about 8,368 students through 12 schools in the Lake Stevens area, including seven elementary schools, two middle schools, two high schools, and one alternative program serving students across K–12 grade levels. The district ranks 19th out of 238 Washington districts, placing it in the 92nd percentile, and offers a generally strong mix of academic performance, graduation outcomes, and improving school rankings.

Stevens Creek Elementary is the district’s strongest all-around academic school, with 2025–2026 proficiency of 74.53% in English language arts, 73.05% in math, and 85.27% in science. Glenwood Elementary has the highest science result at 85.58%, while Skyline Elementary has shown especially strong recent science growth and ranks in the 82nd percentile statewide. Parents comparing elementary schools should note that results vary considerably: Mt. Pilchuck Elementary School has the lowest math performance, particularly in fifth grade, while Sunnycrest Elementary School has the lowest current English language arts result. Highland Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary School provide midrange results, with Hillcrest showing solid third-grade math performance.

At the middle-school level, Lake Stevens Middle School has made the district’s largest ranking improvement and leads in English language arts, while North Lake Middle School performs somewhat better in math. Lake Stevens Senior High School reports an excellent 94.9% graduation rate and a 4.6% dropout rate, though math proficiency is much weaker than English language arts. Homelink and LSSD Open Doors are small alternative programs with limited or older data, so they should not be compared directly with traditional schools on every measure. Overall, the district’s main priorities are secondary math, fifth-grade math, and improving results at Mt. Pilchuck and Sunnycrest.
