Summary
Lynndale Elementary is a PK–6 school serving 442 students in the Edmonds area, where it provides a relatively high-need, economically diverse learning environment within the Edmonds School District. The district ranks 66th of 238 Washington districts, while Lynndale ranks 612th of 1,138 schools statewide, placing it at the 46th percentile with a 2-star rating. The school’s latest ranking is down from the 54th percentile in 2024–25, although its longer-term results have generally remained in the low-40s to mid-50s percentiles. In 2024–25, 53.85% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, compared with 17.77% at nearby Madrona K-8 School and 22.81% at Sherwood Elementary.
Academic performance is mixed. In 2025–26, Lynndale’s proficiency rates were 45.45% in English language arts, 40.91% in math, and 53.23% in science. Science is the clearest relative strength, nearly matching the district and exceeding the statewide rate, while ELA is the largest concern. ELA fell from 55.7% the prior year, whereas science improved from 48.08% to 53.23%. Results also vary by grade: sixth grade was strongest in ELA at 57.14%, while third grade was particularly weak in both ELA and math. Lynndale trails nearby Sherwood Elementary and Madrona K-8 School by sizable margins, but performs substantially better than College Place Elementary.
Families may also want to note Lynndale’s relative strength with English language learners, whose subgroup performance ranked at the 72nd percentile statewide in the latest available year. Areas needing closer attention include ELA, early-grade math, and outcomes for Hispanic students, female students, and students receiving special education services. Reported spending was relatively high at $22,430 per student in 2023–24, though spending figures reflect many factors and do not by themselves measure effectiveness. Nearby schools in the higher-ranked Shoreline School District, including Meridian Park Elementary School and Melvin G Syre Elementary, report notably stronger academic results. Overall, Lynndale appears to be a middle-performing school statewide but a lower-performing option locally, with promising science and ELL results alongside a need to rebuild ELA and early-grade achievement.
