Summary

Hazelwood Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 419 students in Lynnwood, Washington, as part of the high-performing Edmonds School District, yet it finds itself on a concerning academic trajectory.

The school's statewide ranking has declined significantly over the past decade, now placing in the 45th percentile, which is below the district average. Its test scores in English, math, and science consistently lag behind the Edmonds School District averages. This is particularly striking because Hazelwood receives more funding per student (over $23,000) than most neighboring schools, including top performers like Challenge Elementary and Hilltop Elementary, suggesting that factors beyond money are influencing outcomes.

Hazelwood's situation highlights a "proximity paradox," as families in the same basic area have access to vastly different school performances. Within two miles, schools range from the state's top-ranked Challenge Elementary to struggling Cedar Valley Elementary. While Hazelwood shows strengths in some areas, like a favorable student-teacher ratio and improving English scores in upper grades, its multi-year decline and performance gap with nearby schools like Brier Elementary and Hilltop Elementary raise important questions about how it can leverage its resources to reverse this trend.

Caring staff + great students = wonderful learning environment! Close Quote

I have found that all of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They go above and beyond the call of duty in making sure "no child is left behind". Yes, I have worked in most all of the classrooms and I have worked one on one with all of the teachers, but not as a parent, as a substitute paraeducater. Close Quote
