Summary

Lake Forest Park Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 378 students in the 2024-2025 school year, located within the highly-rated Shoreline School District in Lake Forest Park, Washington.

The school performs above the state average academically, with over 56% of students proficient in core subjects, and benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15-to-1. However, a key insight is its decade-long decline in statewide ranking, dropping from the 92nd percentile in 2016 to the 71st percentile in 2025. This trend contrasts with the consistent high performance of nearby schools like Cascade K-8 Community School and Brier Elementary. Performance is also uneven across grade levels, with 3rd and 5th-grade math scores lagging behind both the district and some neighbors, while 4th-grade math excels.

Analysis shows the school faces particular challenges in supporting students from low-income families and those in special education, with performance for these groups declining significantly in recent years. While the school spends more per student ($20,036) than some higher-performing schools like Lockwood Elementary, its outcomes do not consistently match this investment. The exceptional results of specialized programs within the same district, such as Cascade K-8 and Challenge Elementary, highlight that targeted approaches can yield outstanding success.

My child will be going here in a couple of years, and what I know about the school, neighborhood and families who currently attend is all positive. A very strong PTA and excellent staff. Close Quote
