Summary

Shelton View Elementary is a consistently top-ranked public elementary school serving about 513 students in grades PK-5 within the highly-regarded Northshore School District in Bothell, Washington.

The school is a standout for academic excellence, with student test scores in English, math, and science significantly higher than both state and district averages. What truly differentiates Shelton View is its exceptional effectiveness with specific student groups; it ranks in the 96th percentile statewide for English Language Learners and has historically been among the very best for students in special education. This success is achieved efficiently, as the school spends less per student than several nearby schools like Frank Love Elementary and Maywood Hills Elementary while delivering stronger results.

Shelton View forms a notable cluster of excellence with its close neighbor, Lockwood Elementary, as both schools rank in the 93rd percentile statewide. The school also showed resilience, maintaining strong performance through recent disruptions better than some area schools. While part of the high-performing Northshore School District, there is a noticeable contrast with schools in the neighboring Edmonds School District, such as Cedar Way Elementary, which ranks significantly lower despite similar or higher spending.

Open Quote This school is overcrowded and getting worse quickly, with all of the rapid development happening in the area without consideration of class sizes or crowded schools. 26 kids is the norm for the 2nd grade classes this year (including ELL, IEP, etc kids) and there are no classroom aides. The quality of teaching suffers accordingly, but in general I am impressed with what I've seen of the education here. The BEST thing that they do, in my opinion, is a grade-wide small group reading/writing section every single day - 12 or so kids per group, divided on skill level - they pull in extra resources to make it happen and it is fantastic. It happens in 1st-4th grades. Overall not a bad choice at all, but the school grounds are built to be a 400 student school and it would be nice if it could in fact be that. Close Quote
