Summary

Parkwood Elementary is a K–5 school in Shoreline, Washington, serving approximately 390 students in the Shoreline School District, an area with a mixed-income student population and generally strong districtwide performance. Parkwood ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide, placing 193rd among 1,138 Washington elementary schools, and has maintained a four-star rating in every reported year. Its 14.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio is among the most favorable of nearby Shoreline schools.

Academically, Parkwood is strongest in math. In 2025–26, 66.67% of students met standards in math, compared with 60.05% in the district and 43.11% statewide. ELA proficiency was 67.19%, essentially matching the district and exceeding the state, while science was 62.50%, above the state but below the district. Compared with nearby schools, Parkwood trails Meridian Park Elementary School and Highland Terrace Elementary, but is close to Brookside Elementary and ahead of Briarcrest Elementary, Ridgecrest Elementary, and Echo Lake Elementary School in most core subjects.

The main areas to watch are science and achievement in the upper grades. Science proficiency has fallen from 79.41% in 2022–23 to 62.50% in 2025–26, and fifth-grade results are lower than third- and fourth-grade results in both ELA and math. Parkwood nevertheless outperforms nearby Seattle comparisons such as Olympic Hills Elementary School, James Baldwin Elementary School, and Broadview-Thomson K-8 School in all three subjects. Overall, it is a strong statewide performer, with math as its clearest asset and science and support for higher-need student groups as important improvement priorities.

Although it had great diversity, this school was horrible at handling bullying and teachers were quick to discount students. Close Quote
