Summary

Serene Lake Elementary is a K–5 school in Edmonds serving 455 students in the Mukilteo School District, in a suburban area near several elementary schools in both the Mukilteo and Edmonds districts. Its latest statewide ranking places it 485th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, in the 57th percentile, with a three-star rating. The school has recovered from the 43rd-percentile ranking recorded in 2023–2024, although it remains below its 72nd-percentile peak in 2020–2021.

Academically, Serene Lake performs above the Mukilteo School District average in all three latest tested subjects: 51.45% of students were proficient in English language arts, 47.92% in math, and 57.89% in science. Science is the clearest strength, followed by math. ELA has improved substantially since 2023–2024 but remains close to the state average. Math is above both district and state results overall, though performance drops after third grade: third-grade math proficiency was 55.26%, compared with 44.94% in fourth grade and 44.00% in fifth grade. This transition is an important area for continued support. The school also compares favorably with nearby Lake Stickney Elementary School, Odyssey Elementary, and Fairmount Elementary.

The strongest nearby academic comparisons are Picnic Point Elementary, Endeavour Elementary, and Columbia Elementary, all of which report higher proficiency rates, especially in math or science. Serene Lake serves a higher-need population than these schools, with 50.55% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Its 16.2:1 student-teacher ratio is also somewhat higher than nearby comparison schools. Still, the low-socioeconomic-status subgroup ranked at the 64th percentile, above the school overall, suggesting encouraging effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students. Families may also note that Serene Lake outperformed nearby Meadowdale Elementary, Beverly Elementary, and Spruce Elementary in the latest results.
