Summary

Arrowhead Elementary is a 332-student PK–5 school in Kenmore, Washington, serving families in the high-performing Northshore School District, which ranks 12th among 238 Washington districts. The school ranks 148th of 1,138 elementary schools statewide, placing it in the 87th percentile and making it one of the stronger schools in the local comparison group. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 76.69% in English language arts, 65.41% in math, and 75% in science—more than 22 percentage points above statewide results in each subject.

Arrowhead’s clearest academic strengths are English language arts and science. It exceeds the Northshore average in both subjects and performs substantially better than nearby Kenmore Elementary in all three tested areas. The nearby Moorlands Elementary is stronger overall, particularly in science, while Arrowhead is competitive with Carl Sandburg Elementary and Henry David Thoreau Elementary. Arrowhead also outperforms Juanita Elementary, Briarcrest Elementary, and Lake Forest Park Elementary in most subjects, though some nearby schools are stronger in math or science.

Parents may want to watch third grade, where proficiency is 64.29% in English language arts and 57.14% in math, both below district averages; by fifth grade, Arrowhead exceeds the district in both subjects. Results have improved substantially since 2022–2023, although all three subjects dipped somewhat in 2025–2026. A standout feature is the school’s 99th-percentile effectiveness ranking for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Special education effectiveness is more moderate, and the student-teacher ratio has risen to 16.9. Overall, Arrowhead combines strong achievement, notable progress, and particularly effective support for economically disadvantaged students.

My daughter is in kindergarten at Arrowhead. She has one teacher for 35 5 -6 year old children. Please tell me how any one adult can manage and teach 35 little 5 year old children. Additionally, the school barely acknowledges holidays, does not allow cake or cupcakes for Birthday celebrations and does very little to build school moral in children. We are disappointed thus far in the school after having our son have such great experiences at his school 1st - 8th grade.

We are fairly new to the school district but our son who attends Inglemoor HS loves it and we've had great interaction with the teachers and staff at the HS. Close Quote

As a new family to Arrowhead, the parents and staff are welcoming and helpful. The teachers, principal and PTA have all worked with us to become familiar with the school environment, educate us as parents on what to expect this year and throughout our time at Arrowhead.

Our daughter is happily settled into class with a terrific teacher. The principal, whom we met at the new family orientation this summer visits with us after school, knows us by name and really has made an effort to help our once very concerned, very worried little girl feel happy, safe and confident in her new surroundings.
