Summary

Fidalgo Elementary is a K–5 school in Anacortes, Washington, serving 339 students in a community with three district elementary schools located within about 3 to 4 miles of one another. The school is part of the comparatively strong Anacortes School District and ranks in the 75th percentile statewide, earning a four-star rating. Although it is a solid performer, it currently ranks below nearby Island View Elementary and Mount Erie Elementary, which rank in the 83rd and 84th percentiles.

Fidalgo’s 2025–26 results are above Washington averages in every tested subject. Math proficiency was 58.82%, compared with 43.11% statewide, while science was 67.24%, compared with 50.95% statewide. English language arts was 58.82%, above the state’s 52.81% but below the district’s 62.36%. Math is a relative strength, especially in third grade, where 70.37% of students were proficient. However, fourth- and fifth-grade math results were lower, and third-grade ELA was 55.56%. Fidalgo also trails both nearby Anacortes schools in all-grade ELA, math, and science, with the largest gap in ELA. Science remains a strength despite falling from 78.00% the prior year.

The school’s 15.0 student-teacher ratio is similar to Island View Elementary and Mount Erie Elementary, while its per-student spending is lower than both. Fidalgo also shows strong effectiveness for students from low-income households, ranking in the 79th percentile. The most important concern is special education effectiveness, which fell from the 51st percentile in 2023–24 to the 12th percentile in 2025–26. Overall, Fidalgo appears to be a capable school with efficient resource use, but parents may want to pay particular attention to ELA, upper-grade math, the recent science decline, and support for students receiving special education services.
