Summary

Everson Elementary is a small PK–5 school in Everson, Washington, serving 288 students in the Nooksack Valley School District. The school ranks in the 58th percentile among Washington elementary schools and has a three-star rating, while the district ranks in the 64th percentile statewide. Its recent progress is a major positive: the school rose from the 27th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 58th percentile in 2025–2026.

Academically, math is currently the clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 51.2% of students were proficient in math, above both the district’s 46.24% and the state’s 43.11%. Science was also solid at 53.66%, higher than district and state results. English language arts proficiency was 49.6%, close to the district’s 50.24% but below the state’s 52.81%. ELA has improved substantially over time, but third grade is an important area for attention: only 27.91% of third graders were proficient, compared with 65.85% in fourth grade and 56.1% in fifth grade. Math performance is more consistent across grades.

Compared with nearby schools, Nooksack Elementary is the most relevant same-district benchmark, ranking in the 70th percentile and outperforming Everson in all three subjects, especially ELA and science. However, Everson is ahead of Sumas Elementary in overall ranking and math and is competitive with several other nearby schools. Isom Elementary and Vossbeck Elementary School are stronger overall performers, though they serve lower shares of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Everson’s recent results for low-income students and English learners are encouraging. Parents may want to ask about plans for third-grade reading, continued math growth, and updated special education outcomes.
