Summary:
Mount Baker School District has three elementary schools serving 773 students in grades K–6: Kendall Elementary, Harmony Elementary, and Acme Elementary. The schools are similar in grade span, making their academic results useful to compare, although enrollment ranges from 168 students at Acme to 317 at Kendall.
Harmony Elementary is the strongest overall option in the available data. It had the highest 2025–26 proficiency rates in English language arts, math, and science, and it was the only school to outperform the district in all three subjects. Its overall results were 49.69% in ELA, 43.48% in math, and 52.50% in science. Harmony also improved steadily in its statewide ranking, reaching the 51st percentile. Kendall Elementary had lower ELA and math results but performed well in science, exceeding the district rate by 6.70 percentage points. It also showed a steady rise in ELA proficiency from third through sixth grade.
Acme Elementary presents the most mixed picture. Its third-grade ELA and math results were excellent compared with district and state rates, and its overall math proficiency exceeded the district average. However, performance declined sharply in later grades, particularly sixth-grade math and ELA, while science was also below district and state levels. Across the district, math is the largest academic challenge, while science is a relative strength at Harmony and Kendall. Parents comparing schools should look beyond overall averages and consider grade-level patterns, since results can vary substantially by cohort and subject.
