Summary

Parkview Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 422 students on Cornwall Avenue in Bellingham, Washington, within the Bellingham School District. The school ranks 442nd of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 61st percentile statewide and making it a solid middle-to-upper performer locally. Its student-teacher ratio is 16.7, and 44.31% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, a profile close to Sunnyland Elementary School.

Science is Parkview’s clearest strength: 68.97% of students were proficient, well above district and state results and second only to Silver Beach Elementary School among nearby schools with current data. ELA proficiency was 53.61%, slightly above the state rate but below the district average, while math proficiency was 47.18%, modestly above both district and state levels. Parkview trails higher-performing Lowell Elementary School and Silver Beach in ELA and math, but it outperforms schools such as Northern Heights Elementary School, Roosevelt Elementary School, and Cordata Elementary School across the major tested subjects.

Parents may want to note the school’s downward trend: its statewide percentile fell from 84th in 2020–21 to 61st in 2025–26, alongside gradual declines in ELA and math. Grade-level results are uneven, with fifth grade strongest and fourth grade weakest in both subjects; fourth-grade ELA proficiency was 47.14% and math proficiency was 42.25%. Subgroup results also vary, with lower statewide rankings for Hispanic students, students receiving special education services, and low-income students, indicating areas where additional support may be valuable. Overall, Parkview offers a balanced setting with a notable science advantage, strong fifth-grade outcomes, and performance above most nearby schools, while its clearest improvement priorities are literacy, mathematics, fourth grade, and consistent results for all student groups.
