Summary

Skyline Elementary is a public PK–5 school in Lake Stevens, Washington, serving 562 students with a 2024–25 student-teacher ratio of 16.6:1. It is part of the highly regarded Lake Stevens School District, which ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide. Skyline ranks in the 82nd percentile among Washington elementary schools and has shown substantial improvement over time.

Academically, Skyline performs well above Washington averages in all three reported subjects. In 2025–26, proficiency was 64.71% in English language arts, 64.01% in math, and 74.44% in science—11.90, 20.90, and 23.49 percentage points above state results, respectively. Math and science are the school’s clearest strengths, while ELA is close to the district average. Skyline is generally one of the stronger nearby schools, outperforming most comparison schools in math and science. However, Stevens Creek Elementary is the local academic leader, with higher results in ELA, math, and science. Skyline’s science performance also trails the particularly strong science results at Glenwood Elementary.

Parents may want to look more closely at differences among grade levels. Third-grade ELA and math are strong, and fourth-grade math also performs well, but fifth-grade math drops to 54.44%, making it the school’s most notable academic area for attention. Fourth- and fifth-grade ELA results are also lower than third grade. Skyline’s science score improved sharply from 60% to 74.44% in one year, contributing to a strong three-year upward trend. The school is especially effective for students from low-income households, whose subgroup effectiveness ranks in the 94th percentile statewide. Special education effectiveness is the main concern: its 35th-percentile ranking has improved but remains well below the school’s other subgroup results.
