Daniel Bagley is stronger than Viewlands Elementary School, Sacajawea Elementary School, and Green Lake Elementary School in ELA and math, but its neighborhood includes several exceptionally high-performing schools.

The latest results declined from the prior year, particularly in science, which fell from 72.31% to 62.16%, and ELA, which dropped from 78.08% to 70.71%. Still, the school’s long-term record remains consistently strong, generally ranging from the 87th to 93rd statewide percentiles since 2015–16. Parents may want to ask how the school is addressing fourth-grade literacy, science instruction, and the decline in outcomes for students from low-income households, whose subgroup ranking reached the 42nd percentile in 2025–26. Special education and female-student outcomes are relative strengths. Overall, Daniel Bagley offers strong academics and especially solid math performance, with its main opportunities involving recent declines and ensuring that success is consistent across subjects and student groups.

Open Quote The principal at this school has no leadership skills or discipline. She is not always truthful to her staff or about them. Students deserve a leader they can learn from not someone who allows them to go through life without discipline. Close Quote
