Summary

Spruce Elementary is a public K–6 school in Lynnwood serving 632 students in the Edmonds School District, in an area with several nearby elementary schools within about two miles. The school has a relatively high-need enrollment, with 64.87% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Its 2025–2026 statewide standing improved to the 32nd percentile, up from the 26th percentile the previous year, but it remains below the district’s overall 72nd-percentile ranking and received a two-star rating.

Recent academic results show that Spruce Elementary trails both district and state averages in every reported subject: 40.45% of students were proficient in English language arts, 34.60% in math, and 37.80% in science. ELA and math improved modestly from the prior year, while science declined and is now the school’s most concerning trend. Fifth-grade math stands out as a particular challenge, with just 21.95% of students reaching proficiency, compared with 50.00% at nearby Oak Heights Elementary and 44.64% at Meadowdale Elementary. Third-grade math, at 45.98%, is a relative strength, while sixth-grade ELA is the strongest ELA result.

Among nearby schools, Spruce Elementary generally ranks below Meadowdale Elementary, Martha Lake Elementary, Oak Heights Elementary, Hazelwood Elementary, and Lynnwood Elementary, but it performs better than Cedar Valley Elementary in all three subjects. Its 14.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio is comparable to local schools, although its $18,931 per-student spending was lower than most nearby Edmonds schools. Overall, the clearest improvement priorities are upper-elementary math, science, and targeted support for students who are not meeting standards.
