Summary:
Marysville School District serves approximately 8,756 students across 20 schools in the Marysville, Washington area, including elementary, middle, high school, and specialized programs. The district includes 12 elementary schools, three middle schools, and five high schools, with school sizes ranging from 18 students at the School Home Partnership Program to 1,381 at Marysville Getchell High School. Overall, the district ranks below the Washington midpoint, but performance varies considerably from one school to another.
For academic performance, Marysville Coop Program is the district’s strongest overall performer, with above-average English and math results and an 81st-percentile state ranking. Among middle schools, Cedarcrest School leads in English, math, and science, while 10th Street School has shown especially strong recent improvement. Elementary options with notable results include Grove Elementary, which exceeds district averages in all three tested subjects, and Sunnyside Elementary, which has the district’s highest reported science proficiency. Cascade Elementary, Allen Creek Elementary School, Kellogg Marsh Elementary School, and Liberty Elementary also posted meaningful gains.
Marysville Getchell High School stands out among comprehensive high schools, with an 88.4% graduation rate and a 7.4% dropout rate, both better than district and state comparisons. Marysville Pilchuck High School has lower outcomes, particularly in math, while specialized programs such as Legacy High School, Heritage School, and Marysville NWESD 189 Youth Engagement should be evaluated in light of their distinct missions. Math is the district’s most consistent academic weakness, and results at Totem Middle School, Shoultes Elementary, and Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary indicate a need for additional support. Suppressed results should be treated as unavailable, not as zero performance.
