Summary

Sunnycrest Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 695 students in Lake Stevens, Washington, within the high-performing Lake Stevens School District. The district ranks 19th out of 238 Washington districts, while Sunnycrest ranks 347th out of 1,138 elementary schools statewide, placing it in the 70th percentile and earning three stars. In other words, Sunnycrest performs better than most Washington elementary schools, though it is more of a middle-performing school compared with nearby schools in its own district.

Sunnycrest’s strongest academic area is science: 66.96% of students were proficient in 2025–26, compared with 50.95% statewide and 63.74% across the district. Math proficiency was 55.14%, more than 12 points above the state rate and slightly above the district average. English Language Arts (ELA) is the clearest challenge, at 54.14%—just above the state rate but nearly 11 points below the district average. Math has improved gradually in recent years, while ELA has declined from 64.04% in 2022–23. Grade-level results point to a particular need in fifth-grade math, where proficiency fell to 47.32%, compared with 63.03% in third grade. Science remains a relative strength despite declining from its 2023–24 peak.

Local comparisons show a sizable performance gap. Nearby Stevens Creek Elementary reached the 93rd statewide percentile, with proficiency rates about 18–20 points higher than Sunnycrest across ELA, math, and science. Sunnycrest’s 18.4:1 student-teacher ratio was also the highest among the six nearby district schools, and its $16,038 per-student spending was the lowest in that group. A notable strength is support for English Language Learners, whose statewide effectiveness ranking reached the 93rd percentile. Areas needing attention include ELA, fifth-grade math, and recent effectiveness results for Hispanic students, special education students, and students from low-income households.
