Summary

Brier Elementary is a highly-regarded K-6 public school serving 389 students in the community of Brier, Washington, as part of the Edmonds School District.

The school is a consistent academic standout, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide and maintaining a 4-star rating for seven straight years. Its students significantly outperform district averages, with proficiency rates roughly 15-20 points higher in English, Math, and Science. This excellence extends across student groups, with economically disadvantaged and special education students also performing well above state averages. While the school has a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (22.4%) compared to many nearby Edmonds School District schools like Cedar Way Elementary (60.5%) and Hazelwood Elementary (49.2%), its strong results with those students indicate effective teaching practices are a key driver of success.

Interestingly, Brier achieves these top-tier results with moderate per-student spending and a typical student-teacher ratio, performing at a level comparable to schools in higher-ranked neighboring districts like Shoreline and Northshore. A notable nearby contrast is Challenge Elementary, ranked #1 in the state with exceptional scores but a very different, potentially selective student population. For families, Brier Elementary represents a reliably excellent neighborhood school that has shown steady improvement and delivers strong academic outcomes for all its students.
