Summary
Lynnwood Elementary is a public K–6 school in Lynnwood, WA, serving 578 students in the Edmonds School District, with nearby elementary schools offering a wide range of academic results. Lynnwood ranks at the 45th percentile statewide for 2025–26 and has a two-star rating. Its ranking has improved steadily, from the 34th percentile in 2023–24 to the 39th percentile in 2024–25 and 45th percentile most recently. Among nine nearby schools, Lynnwood is roughly in the middle: it trails Oak Heights Elementary, Meadowdale Elementary, and Martha Lake Elementary, but ranks ahead of several others.
In 2025–26, Lynnwood’s proficiency rates were 46.91% in English language arts, 40.91% in math, and 44.30% in science. These results are below district and state averages, but they are about five percentage points higher than the average of the nearby comparison schools. Science is a relative local strength, while ELA and math have improved each year. Fourth grade stands out: students exceeded both district and state results in ELA and math. The main academic concern is upper-grade performance, particularly fifth-grade math at 30.38% and sixth-grade ELA at 35.29%. Science has also declined from 52.56% three years ago to 44.30% currently, so families may want to ask how the school is responding.
Lynnwood shows especially strong effectiveness for students receiving special education services, ranking at the 71st percentile statewide, and English learner results have improved substantially. At the same time, performance varies among student groups, making it important to ask about targeted support and progress monitoring. Lynnwood has the highest student-teacher ratio among the comparable nearby schools, at 16.4 to 1, and its per-student spending is among the lowest in the group. Even so, it outperforms schools such as Beverly Elementary, Spruce Elementary, College Place Elementary, and Cedar Valley Elementary in overall ranking. Its upward momentum is encouraging, but continued progress will depend on strengthening grades five and six, monitoring science, and maintaining support across student groups.
