Summary

Brigadoon Elementary School is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving about 366 students in the Federal Way School District, a district that faces significant academic challenges across the region.

When looking at test scores, Brigadoon is a stronger performer within its own district, outperforming nearby schools like Enterprise Elementary School, Panther Lake Elementary School, and Olympic View Elementary School in core subjects. Its science scores are a particular strength. However, it still trails the state average and is outperformed by some other Federal Way schools like Twin Lakes Elementary School and Green Gables Elementary School. A notable gap exists across the region, as schools in the neighboring Tacoma School District, such as Browns Point Elementary School, achieve much higher scores.

Brigadoon's most notable strength is its effectiveness in supporting students from low-income families, a significant portion of its student body. The school invests more per student than many district peers, which may contribute to these results. Key areas for attention include a consistent performance gap between female and male students and a drop in math proficiency after the 3rd grade. While the school's statewide ranking has declined from its peak several years ago, its performance has recently stabilized, and it continues to build on its successes in a challenging environment.
