Summary

Silver Firs Elementary is a PK–5 school in Everett, Washington, serving 538 students in an area with an unusually strong group of nearby elementary schools, including Forest View Elementary School, Totem Falls, and Mill Creek Elementary.

Silver Firs is one of Washington’s strongest elementary schools. It ranks 20th out of 1,138 statewide, placing it in the 98th percentile with a 5-star rating. Its district, Everett School District, ranks 37th out of 238 districts. For 2025–26, proficiency was 82.37% in English language arts, 85.08% in math, and 90.00% in science—well above both district and state results. Math and science are especially notable: science was nearly 40 percentage points above the state, while math was about 42 points higher. The school also improved in all three subjects from the previous year, including a nearly 10-point gain in math.

Silver Firs performs particularly well given the competition nearby. It ranks behind only Cedar Wood Elementary and Tambark Creek Elementary School among the listed local schools, while outperforming Forest View Elementary School, Mill Creek Elementary, and Totem Falls in several current subjects. English language arts is the clearest opportunity for further growth, especially in third grade, where proficiency was 77.32% compared with about 85% in fourth and fifth grades. The school has also shown strong results across student groups, including a 98th-percentile effectiveness ranking for students from low-income households in 2025–26. Its 17.3:1 student-teacher ratio and midrange spending suggest these results are not dependent on the smallest classes or highest spending among nearby schools.

Awesome teachers, very quick and noticeable results! The preschool program is outstanding. Ms. Caletti taught my son his first sentence to ask for something the first very week of school. He was non-verbal. Many beautiful crafts came home (our Kindergarten at Tambark Creek Elementary produced no crafts worth keeping), and we got nice pictures from the school as well. The other specialists were excellent too. Very impressed! Close Quote

My daughter completed kindergarten at Silver Firs Elementary and will start first grade in the 2017-2018 school year. Her kindergarten teacher was fabulous, and surprised me with how much she really knew and understood my child. My daughter loves this school, and we are thrilled with her academic and social progress. Our experience with the teachers, principal, specialty, and administrative staff has been nothing but positive. The school spirit and community is warm and welcoming. Looking forward to many more years at this school with our kids. Close Quote
