Summary:

The Sumner-Bonney Lake School District is a high-performing district in Washington, consisting of 14 schools serving grades K-12 to approximately 10,700 students, and it ranks in the 96th percentile statewide.

Among its standout schools, Tehaleh Heights Elementary School is the district's top performer with exceptional test scores, while Bonney Lake Elementary excels in science and Lakeridge Middle School leads the middle schools. Notable improvements have been seen at Daffodil Valley Elementary, which recently moved from a 3-star to a 4-star rating. The district's high schools, Bonney Lake High School and Sumner High School, both perform well, with Bonney Lake showing slightly higher proficiency rates and graduation rates.

Key insights show the district consistently outperforms state averages in graduation rates and test scores, though math proficiency declines noticeably from elementary to high school. Interestingly, higher per-student spending does not directly correlate with better rankings, as some of the highest-spending schools are not the top performers. Parents can expect strong academic results across the district, with particular strengths at the elementary level and a need to focus on maintaining math skills through middle and high school.
