Summary:
The Stanwood-Camano School District has five elementary schools serving approximately 2,070 students in the Stanwood-Camano area, generally covering grades K–5, with Stanwood Elementary School also listing pre-K.
Overall, the schools show solid performance, especially in science, where every school exceeds both district and state averages. Twin City Elementary is the strongest all-around performer, ranking in the 76th percentile and leading the group in math at 60.71%. It also has strong ELA and science results, the highest 3rd- and 4th-grade math scores, and the lowest spending per student. Stanwood Elementary School leads in all-grades ELA and science, with especially strong 4th- and 5th-grade results, and improved sharply to the 70th percentile. Cedarhome Elementary School offers the most balanced profile, exceeding state averages in all three subjects and having the lowest student-teacher ratio.
Utsalady Elementary has improved its ranking each year and performs well in science and 5th-grade ELA, but its overall ELA results and lower-grade performance are less consistent. Elger Bay Elementary has made the largest math gain and also improved in science, though ELA and 5th-grade math remain its main areas for support. Across the five schools, average math proficiency rose more than five points and science rose more than nine points year over year, while ELA remained broadly stable. For families comparing options, Twin City stands out overall, Stanwood is strongest in science and upper-grade ELA, Cedarhome is consistently balanced, and Utsalady and Elger Bay show encouraging progress alongside specific academic needs.
