Summary:
Stanwood-Camano School District includes 11 schools serving students from elementary through high school in the Stanwood-Camano area, with traditional elementary, middle, and high schools as well as alternative programs. The district serves approximately 4,880 students and ranks in the 67th percentile among Washington districts, although results vary considerably by school and subject.
Several schools stand out for strong performance. Port Susan Middle School is the district’s highest-ranked school, with achievement above district and state results in English language arts, math, and science. Among elementary schools, Twin City Elementary leads in math and science, while Stanwood Elementary School has the district’s strongest science results. Stanwood Middle School remains behind Port Susan but made the district’s most dramatic recent improvement. At the high-school level, Stanwood High School has the stronger overall profile, including an 89.7% graduation rate, a 5.1% dropout rate, and the district’s best high-school ELA results.
Parents should pay close attention to differences in secondary math and science. Math proficiency is relatively strong at Twin City Elementary, but falls substantially at both high schools, especially Lincoln Hill High School, where graduation, dropout, math, and science outcomes are weaker than district and state comparisons. Elementary ELA is a relative concern at Elger Bay Elementary and Utsalady Elementary. Saratoga School serves an alternative program and should be compared cautiously with traditional schools. Results for Lincoln Academy are largely unavailable because of suppressed data.
