Summary

Forest View Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Everett, Washington, serving 634 students in an area surrounded by several exceptionally strong elementary schools. The school ranks 44th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 96th percentile statewide, and earns a five-star SchoolDigger rating. It is part of the Everett School District, which ranks in the state’s 84th percentile.

Forest View’s academic results are well above both district and state averages. In 2025–2026, 80.38% of students were proficient in English language arts, 77.53% in math, and 85.59% in science. Science is the school’s clearest strength, exceeding the district by 22.95 percentage points and the state by 34.64 points. Forest View’s results are especially notable given its competitive surroundings: Cedar Wood Elementary, Tambark Creek Elementary School, and Silver Firs Elementary all rank higher statewide, but Forest View remains ahead of Mill Creek Elementary, Penny Creek Elementary, and Woodside Elementary in the supplied comparisons.

The school’s long-term performance has been consistently strong, although its 2025–2026 ELA and math results eased from recent peaks. Math is the main area to watch: Forest View trails the top nearby schools most noticeably in math, and fifth-grade math was its weakest grade-level result at 75.68%. By contrast, fifth-grade ELA, fourth-grade math, and fifth-grade science were standout areas. Outcomes are also broad-based, with strong recent statewide subgroup rankings for English language learners and students from low-income households; special education results remain solid but have declined relative to earlier years. Forest View’s 18.4 student-teacher ratio and $18,003 per-student spending are moderate compared with nearby schools, including Totem Falls, which reports smaller classes and higher spending. Overall, Forest View is a top-tier school in an unusually high-performing local cluster.
