Summary

Crystal Springs Elementary is a PK–5 school serving about 500 students in Bothell, Washington, within the highly rated Northshore School District, an area with several strong nearby elementary schools.

Crystal Springs ranks 261st of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 77th percentile with a 4-star rating. Its results are above Washington averages in English language arts, math, and science, but below the Northshore School District average. For 2025–2026, proficiency was 59.84% in ELA, 59.59% in math, and 69.44% in science. Compared with nearby schools, Fernwood Elementary and Canyon Creek Elementary posted substantially higher results, while Maywood Hills Elementary is the closest overall comparison, also ranking in the 77th percentile. Frank Love Elementary, less than a mile away, ranks higher at the 83rd percentile.

The clearest academic concern is upper-elementary math: proficiency declines from 65% in third grade to 59.78% in fourth grade and 53.42% in fifth grade. Science is a relative strength, while ELA and math have improved over the longer term but all three subjects declined from 2024–2025. Crystal Springs serves a higher-need population than most nearby Northshore schools, with 35% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its low-income student subgroup ranks in the 82nd statewide percentile. English learner effectiveness is especially strong at the 94th percentile. The main subgroup caution is special education effectiveness, which fell from the 77th to the 54th percentile in the latest year. Overall, the school offers solid statewide performance and a record of long-term improvement, with math consistency and recent performance trends worth watching.

Many of the teachers have been at Crystal Springs close to their entire careers - once they work at our school they don't want to leave. The families and the teachers are wonderful and almost everyone attends the PTA events & parties. My children are thriving at Crystal Springs and love going to school. I would highly recommend Crystal Springs. Close Quote
