Summary

Echo Lake Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Shoreline, Washington, serving 416 students in a community about 1–2 miles from several nearby elementary schools and within the highly rated Shoreline School District. The district ranks in the 93rd percentile statewide, but Echo Lake itself ranks in the 56th percentile, or 502nd of 1,138 Washington schools, and has a three-star rating. Its student-teacher ratio is 15.1, and 46.39% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25.

Echo Lake’s academic results are mixed. In 2025–26, 50.24% of students were proficient in English language arts, 51.89% in math, and 43.06% in science. Math is a relative strength compared with Washington overall, where the rate was 43.11%, while science is the clearest concern. Echo Lake trails most nearby schools, including Meridian Park Elementary School, which posted 84.46% in ELA, 79.59% in math, and 78.70% in science. Parkwood Elementary is a particularly useful comparison because its free- or reduced-price lunch rate, 43.33%, is similar to Echo Lake’s, yet its proficiency rates were higher in all three subjects: 67.19% in ELA, 66.67% in math, and 62.50% in science.

Families may want to ask specifically about upper-grade instruction and science improvement. Echo Lake’s results decline from third to fifth grade: ELA falls from 56.72% to 45.83%, and math from 58.82% to 44.44%. Science proficiency also dropped steadily from 61.76% in 2022–23 to 43.06% in 2025–26, while math remained relatively stable. Subgroup results are uneven, with special education effectiveness at the 27th percentile, compared with the 59th percentile for English Language Learners. Overall, the most important areas to investigate are science instruction, fifth-grade support, special education services, and practices used by stronger nearby schools such as Melvin G Syre Elementary and Meridian Park.

My grandaughter has thrived in the kindergarten class with Mrs. Tanaka. She is a wonderful, kind, loving teachet and my grandaughters first year in school has been excellent due to her teacher. She goes into first grade well prepared and eager to learn. Close Quote
