Bay View’s strongest current academic area is math. In 2025–26, 32.80% of students met expectations in math—6.58 percentage points above the district average and higher than every listed nearby school except Edison Elementary, Centennial Elementary School, and La Conner Elementary. English language arts performance was close to the district average, while science was weaker at 36.14%, below both district and state results. Bay View substantially outperformed Allen Elementary, but trailed Edison by about 13 to 14 points across all three tested subjects. Compared with schools in the Mount Vernon area, Bay View’s math result was competitive, exceeding Harriet Rowley, Jefferson Elementary, Little Mountain Elementary, Madison Elementary, and Washington Elementary School.
Families may want to look closely at differences among grades and student groups. Third-grade math was a bright spot at 44.30%, while fifth-grade math was much lower at 22.22%. Science has also declined from 46.39% in 2022–23 to 36.14% currently, and the school’s statewide percentile has fallen from about 40 to 23 over the same recent period. Bay View’s effectiveness ranking for English language learner students was comparatively strong at the 49th percentile, while results for Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds were at the 12th percentile. In 2024–25, 52.15% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, a lower share than at most comparison schools but higher than Edison’s 38.72%. Overall, Bay View appears to be a middle-performing local school with a notable math foundation, but science, fifth-grade math, and recent performance trends merit attention.
