Summary

Canyon Creek Elementary is a large public school in Bothell serving pre-kindergarten through Grade 5, with 866 students in the Northshore School District. The school ranks 35th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 97th percentile statewide and among the strongest schools in the area. Its long-term progress is notable: it ranked 147th in 2015–2016 and has remained near the top of the state since 2021–2022.

Academic results are strong in all three tested subjects. For 2025–2026, 79.44% of students were proficient in English language arts, 82.49% in math, and 81.70% in science—above both district and state rates. Math is the clearest strength, exceeding the district rate by 16.65 percentage points; Grade 3 math was especially strong at 89.22%. Results are somewhat lower in Grade 4 ELA, at 74.30%, and Grade 5 math, at 77.92%, but these remain solid compared with district and state results. The school also reports strong effectiveness rankings for English learners and special education students. The low-socioeconomic-status subgroup ranks lower than the school’s other listed groups, at the 82nd percentile, making it an area worth monitoring.

Compared with nearby schools, Fernwood Elementary is a stronger same-district benchmark, ranking 14th statewide and posting higher results in every tested subject. Kokanee Elementary ranks just ahead of Canyon Creek overall, although Canyon Creek has stronger math results. The school substantially outperforms Woodin Elementary, Crystal Springs Elementary, and several other nearby Northshore schools. It also compares well with the exceptionally strong Cedar Wood Elementary and Tambark Creek Elementary School in the Everett district. With a 16.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio and $17,914 in reported per-student spending, Canyon Creek delivers high achievement at a relatively large-school scale.

Teaching standards are very low. My kid is in 2nd grade and teacher hardly do effective teaching of 1 hour in a day. Teacher isn`t well prepared with lectures before class. I personally think teacher don`t have proper knowledge of Math and Science so most of time she leaves kids in breakout rooms to finish assignments. Teacher need more in depth knowledge of subject and desire to teach kids. Terribly bad experience with school. Close Quote
