Summary

Clear Lake Elementary School is a K–6 public school in Clearlake, Washington, serving 314 students in a relatively small-school setting within the Sedro-Woolley School District. The school ranks 318th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 72nd percentile with a four-star rating. That makes Clear Lake the strongest-ranked nearby school by a wide margin: Big Lake Elementary School, the next-highest-ranked nearby school, is in the 40th percentile, while most other nearby schools are in the 30th percentile or below.

Academic results are a major strength. In 2025–2026, Clear Lake’s proficiency rates were 57.98% in English language arts and 56.15% in math, compared with 41.74% and 33.09% for the district. The school also exceeded statewide averages in both subjects and led the other same-district schools in each. Math has been especially consistent, remaining above the state average every year from 2022–2023 through 2025–2026. Grade-level results are generally positive: fifth-grade ELA was 72%, while fourth- and sixth-grade ELA and third-, fifth-, and sixth-grade math exceeded their state averages. Third-grade ELA is the clearest area for improvement. Recent science results were also strong, but the newest all-school science result is suppressed and cannot be evaluated.

Clear Lake’s performance is notable given its moderate resources: per-student spending was $17,939, lower than the nearby schools with available figures, and its student-teacher ratio was 18.0. About 40.45% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, while the school’s lower-income student subgroup ranked between the 86th and 90th percentiles statewide in recent years. The school’s ranking has also recovered from a 64th-percentile low in 2022–2023 to 72nd percentile currently. Families may want to monitor third-grade literacy, differences among student subgroups, and future science results, including the suppressed fourth-grade math and science figures.
