Woodside Elementary in Bothell, WA, serves 581 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade and is part of the Everett School District. Located in a highly competitive area with several nearby schools from the Everett, Northshore, and Edmonds districts, Woodside is a strong statewide performer: it has a 4-star rating, ranks in the 81st percentile among Washington elementary schools, and has improved from the 71st percentile in 2021–22. Its 17:1 student-teacher ratio and economically mixed enrollment provide useful context when comparing it with nearby schools.
Woodside’s latest proficiency rates are 65.49% in English Language Arts, 63.24% in math, and 68.27% in science. Those results are well above state rates, especially in math and science, and math is 6.01 percentage points above the district average. Science has also improved substantially over time, rising from 56.98% in 2022–23 to the upper 60s in each of the last three years. However, Woodside trails the area’s highest-performing schools. Cedar Wood Elementary and Tambark Creek Elementary School rank in the 100th and 99th percentiles, respectively, while Forest View Elementary School and Mill Creek Elementary also outperform Woodside by substantial margins. Woodside is more competitive with Penny Creek Elementary and Hilltop Elementary.
The clearest improvement opportunity is fifth-grade math, where proficiency falls to 50.96%—9.96 points below the district rate—despite stronger third- and fourth-grade results. Families may also want to note that Woodside’s strongest comparative results are for low-income students, English Language Learners, and Hispanic students, with effectiveness rankings at the 94th, 91st, and 90th percentiles, respectively. Overall, Woodside offers solid academics and particularly strong support for several student groups. It is stronger than nearby Silver Lake Elementary and Martha Lake Elementary, but families seeking the area’s highest test performance may compare it with Cedar Wood, Tambark Creek, Forest View, and Mill Creek.
