Among elementary schools, Clear Lake Elementary School is the strongest overall performer, ranking in the 72nd percentile and earning four stars.

Mary Purcell Elementary School has shown the largest three-year ranking improvement and performs above the district average in ELA and science. Central Elementary School is a relative math strength. In contrast, Evergreen Elementary School, Big Lake Elementary School, and Samish Elementary School merit attention because of lower or recently declining results.
At the secondary level, Sedro Woolley Senior High School has a strong 94.2% graduation rate, although math achievement remains weak. Cascade Middle School trails district averages in ELA, math, and science, with especially notable weakness among eighth graders. State Street High School is the most urgent area for review, reporting a 50% graduation rate, a 15.6% dropout rate, and low science proficiency; its math result was suppressed and should be treated as unknown. Overall, math is the most consistent challenge in middle and high school, while elementary science is a relative district strength.
