Summary

Chase Lake Elementary is a public elementary school (PK-6) serving 413 students in the generally strong Edmonds School District in Edmonds, WA, but it is currently facing significant academic challenges.

The school's statewide ranking has fallen sharply, now placing it in the bottom quarter of all schools, with fewer than 40% of students proficient in English and fewer than 32% proficient in math, which is well below district averages. This is particularly notable because Chase Lake spends more per student than most nearby schools and has a favorable student-teacher ratio. A key factor is that over half of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need. However, even compared to schools with similar demographics like Lynndale Elementary, Chase Lake's academic results are lower.

Perhaps the most striking finding is the school's proximity to some of the state's highest-performing schools, such as top-ranked Challenge Elementary and the highly-rated Maplewood Parent Coop, creating a stark contrast within the same district. Performance gaps are also evident between grade levels, with upper grades showing particular struggle. While the school had a strength in science in the past, those scores have also recently declined. The data suggests Chase Lake is a well-resourced school in a solid district that is underperforming relative to its peers, indicating potential areas for focused improvement.
