of 1,138 Washington Elementary Schools

Better than 99% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Tambark Creek Elementary School in Bothell serves about 740 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade and is located in an unusually competitive area with several highly rated elementary schools across the Everett, Northshore, and Snohomish districts. The school ranked 7th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 99th percentile, and has remained in the top 2% statewide every year shown since 2020–2021. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 18.6, and 11.08% of students received free or reduced-price lunch.

Academic results are excellent and well balanced. In 2025–2026, 86.63% of students were proficient in English language arts, 87.92% in math, and 88.33% in science. These rates were substantially higher than averages in the Everett School District and Washington overall, with math standing out as the clearest strength. Results were also strong across grades: reported ELA proficiency ranged from 84.8% in third grade to 88.33% in fifth grade, while fourth- and fifth-grade math were above 85%. The state suppressed the third-grade math result, so no conclusion should be drawn about that score. Subgroup effectiveness rankings were also very strong, including for English Language Learners and students from low-income backgrounds.

Tambark Creek is competitive with the area’s best schools. Nearby Cedar Wood Elementary School ranked 5th statewide, but Tambark Creek had higher math results; the two schools were close in ELA and science. Tambark Creek also slightly exceeded Fernwood Elementary School in all three subjects and outperformed Canyon Creek Elementary across the board, despite Northshore’s higher district ranking. ELA has recovered modestly after declining from earlier highs, and science has varied from year to year, but both remain major strengths. Overall, the school combines sustained top-tier performance with particularly strong math achievement and consistent grade-level results.

Our child went in-person for 7 months this year. Barely learned anything, very little communication from the teacher to parents. School isn't very welcoming, they don't even want parents inside. We don't even know what the classroom looks like. Teacher regularly cut online classes super short. Art and worksheets seems to have been done completely unassisted. For example, "I play TV" was not corrected for grammar. Close Quote
