Summary

Island View Elementary is a K–5 school in Anacortes, Washington, serving 453 students and belonging to the relatively strong Anacortes School District. It is the largest of the district’s three elementary schools listed and ranks 197th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 83rd percentile with a 4-star rating.

Academically, Island View performs well above Washington averages: 68.83% of students are proficient in English language arts, 60.17% in math, and 72.41% in science. Science is a particular strength, exceeding the state result by 21.46 percentage points and rising 11.19 points from the previous year. ELA and math also improved year over year. Compared with nearby same-district Mount Erie Elementary, Island View is slightly stronger in ELA and science, while Mount Erie leads in math and has a slightly higher statewide ranking. Island View is ahead of Fidalgo Elementary in all three subjects, especially ELA.

Results are generally strong across tested grades, though math deserves attention. Third-grade math trails the district average, and fifth-grade math is much less strong than fifth-grade ELA. The school’s 15.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio is similar to its closest district peers, and its 34% free- or reduced-price lunch rate is lower than at most comparison schools. Overall outcomes for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds are relatively strong, but subgroup results are less consistent: Hispanic students rank near the statewide middle, while special education students rank in the 37th percentile despite recent improvement. For families comparing schools, Island View stands out for sustained high performance, strong science results, and a recent rebound in achievement, with math and subgroup outcomes serving as the main areas to monitor.
