Summary

Columbia Elementary is a PK–5 school in Mukilteo, Washington, serving 596 students in the Mukilteo School District alongside several nearby district elementary schools. In 2025–26, it ranked 254th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it at the 78th percentile statewide and making it one of the stronger schools in the local comparison group.

Academically, Columbia performed above district and state averages in every reported subject. Proficiency was 59.41% in English language arts, 53.56% in math, and 73.49% in science. Science is the school’s clearest strength, exceeding the district average by 24.45 percentage points and ranking second locally behind Mukilteo Elementary. Columbia ranked approximately third among nearby schools, close to Endeavour Elementary and ahead of Picnic Point Elementary, while ranking well above schools such as Odyssey Elementary, Challenger Elementary, and Olivia Park Elementary.

Results vary by grade and year. Fifth-grade ELA was particularly strong at 68.67%, while fourth-grade math stood out at 62.50%. The main improvement opportunity is maintaining math performance into fifth grade, where proficiency fell to 46.99%; third-grade ELA at 48.53% also suggests a need to strengthen early literacy foundations. Science rebounded sharply from 58.82% in 2024–25 to 73.49% in 2025–26, helping the school reach its best recent statewide ranking. Columbia’s 15.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio and $19,907 per-student spending are fairly typical locally, while its 33.22% free/reduced-price lunch rate is lower than at most nearby schools. Subgroup effectiveness rankings were above the statewide midpoint across all reported groups.

The school does not offer all day kindergarten. It is 2.5 hours. (what can they do in 2.5 hours)?

We recently moved from CA to WA and placed our daughter in this school. She was in a private school before coming here and is much more advanced. She has been in school for a few days and I have yet to know or understand what they do. I asked my child and she cannot even explain it. I have emailed the teacher and she takes days to get back to you. I do not think the curriculum is spelled out and it is a joke. I am still trying to find out if kindergarten is mandatory in WA. I am considering pulling her out and starting her of with 1st grade. The school should really look at their test scores and make some adjustments. Close Quote
