Summary

Shoultes Elementary is a K–6 public school in Marysville, Washington, serving 348 students in a suburban area with several nearby elementary schools in the Marysville School District. In 2025–26, it ranked 1,055th of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 7th percentile with a 0-star rating. The district ranked in the 29th percentile statewide. Shoultes serves a relatively high-need student population: 59.48% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, and its student-teacher ratio was 17.9, the highest among the nearby schools listed.

The most important concern is current academic performance. In 2025–26, 24.77% of students were proficient in English language arts, 15.77% in math, and 16.18% in science—below both district and state averages in every subject. Math was the lowest among nearby Marysville schools, while science was also among the weakest local results. Fifth-grade math was particularly concerning, with only 4.41% of students proficient. By comparison, Grove Elementary reported 46.51% ELA, 39.72% math, and 46.94% science; Cascade Elementary reported 42.48%, 36.28%, and 42.62%, respectively. English Crossing Elementary also substantially outperformed Shoultes in science, despite having a similar lunch-assistance rate.

Results have declined sharply from earlier years, especially in math and science. Science proficiency reached 54.41% in 2023–24, and math previously exceeded the district average, suggesting that stronger performance is possible. The decline appears schoolwide rather than limited to one grade or group. Shoultes also spends $20,385 per student, more than several better-performing nearby schools, so spending alone does not explain the results. Families may want to ask about staffing stability, class sizes, intervention support, attendance, curriculum implementation, and the causes of the dramatic 2025–26 decline.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, January 30, 2017

This is a terrible school.
The principal doesn't seem AT ALL interested in the stresses and concerns we have as parents. She is rude and does not listen to our needs. Her office staff is about the same except one. They easily release your children without checking I.D. And force your children to play at recess even if he or she is not interested and cold out. They have no respect for diversity, and are quick to assume the worst in you as parents when your children have reasonable excuses as to why they cannot attend school. The staff openly gossips about the children and parents'. I have walked in on them doing so. My children are not white and they are treated so. Tired of the rude , unprofessional atmosphere that the children are in. The School is in poor condition along with their educational programs and plans for our children. They say the dont encourage bullying but bully our children for being different skin color and treat them as if they were the problem. Overall a stinky attitude and we are all tired of it. If we were in a better place financially, we would not force our children to continue attending such a place. Close Quote

This is not a safe school and it is getting worse!The principal encourages citizens to visit classrooms for parties, etc. without being screened as possible felons, or petifiles. Adults are not screened and are often found on campus without being processed through the office. Part of the problem, I believe, is the layout of the campus and many unlocked doors from the outside, the lack of security and the poor leadership skills of the Principal and the Superintendent. The morale of the staff, at Shoultes and many schools in the district, is very low. I believe this is due to the poor leadership skills of the Superintendent. The entire upper administration of the district are very hostile with a negative attitude. Close Quote
