Summary

Stillaguamish Valley Learning Center (SVLC) is a public K-8 school serving 181 students in Arlington School District, notable for its significant improvement from historical lows to a current 3-star rating and ranking in the 58th percentile of Washington schools.

Academically, SVLC shows a mixed profile, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science generally below both the district and state averages, and it often underperforms compared to nearby schools like Kent Prairie Elementary and Eagle Creek Elementary. However, performance varies dramatically by grade, with 5th graders excelling in some subjects while 8th graders face significant challenges, suggesting potential issues with middle school programming or student transitions.

The school operates very efficiently, achieving its mid-tier ranking while spending far less per student ($10,850) than neighboring schools, which spend 70-88% more. It also serves a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch than most area schools. This combination of lower spending, a higher student-teacher ratio, and steady improvement from the bottom percentile makes SVLC a unique and cost-effective model within the Arlington School District.
