Summary
Grove Elementary is a public K–6 school in Marysville, Washington, serving 392 students in the Marysville School District and a community with moderate economic need. The school ranks around the statewide midpoint, at 573rd out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, but it is one of the stronger traditional neighborhood schools in its local area. Grove’s ranking has improved substantially, from the 17th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 50th percentile in 2025–2026. About 46.43% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 17:1.
Academically, Grove compares favorably with nearby conventional schools. Its latest proficiency rates were 46.51% in ELA, 39.72% in math, and 46.94% in science—the strongest ELA and math results among the listed traditional neighborhood schools. Grove also outperformed district averages in every subject, especially math, where it was about 11 percentage points higher. Its results were below Washington’s statewide averages, but the gaps were relatively modest, particularly in math. Grove ranked ahead of Cascade Elementary, Sunnyside Elementary, Kellogg Marsh Elementary School, Liberty Elementary, and most other nearby traditional schools. The much higher-performing Marysville Coop Program is considerably smaller and less directly comparable.
The clearest area for improvement is upper-grade math: proficiency falls from 55.38% in third grade to 24.49% in sixth grade. Fourth-grade ELA is another weak point, while science has improved but remains somewhat volatile. Grove appears relatively effective for students from low-income backgrounds, whose subgroup ranking was at the 60th percentile statewide. Families may therefore see Grove as a school with meaningful recent momentum, strong local performance, and a positive record serving diverse student needs, while recognizing that continued progress will depend on strengthening grades 5–6 math, fourth-grade ELA, and special education outcomes.
