Summary

Machias Elementary is a K–6 school in Snohomish, Washington, serving 615 students in a comparatively lower-poverty area, with 22.44% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school is part of the Snohomish School District, which ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide, while Machias ranks in the 62nd percentile among Washington elementary schools. Its 17.7:1 student-teacher ratio and $18,057 in per-student spending provide a moderate level of resources. Overall, Machias is a middle-performing school locally: stronger than Cascade View Elementary and Central Emerson Elementary, but behind Dutch Hill Elementary.

Math is Machias’ clearest academic strength. In 2025–26, 52.91% of students met state standards in math—essentially matching the district average and exceeding the state rate by 9.80 percentage points. Fourth grade was especially strong, with 64.89% proficiency in math and 62.37% in English language arts. However, overall ELA proficiency was 51.02%, or 11.36 points below the district average, while science proficiency was 47.62%, or 12.26 points below the district average. Fifth grade stands out as a priority: only 41.18% reached math standards, and 45.88% reached ELA standards. Fifth-grade science results were also below both district and state rates.

Recent results declined across all three subjects compared with 2024–25, contributing to a drop from the 73rd to the 62nd percentile statewide. Still, Machias has improved substantially from the 40th percentile in 2015–16, so the latest decline does not erase its longer-term progress. Nearby schools in the Lake Stevens School District generally score higher, particularly in science: Stevens Creek Elementary reports 85.27% science proficiency, compared with Machias’ 47.62%. Dutch Hill Elementary is the most useful same-district benchmark because its student-lunch rate and student-teacher ratio are similar, yet it performs considerably better in ELA and science. Machias’ strongest improvement opportunities are restoring recent momentum, strengthening science and ELA, and addressing the fifth-grade transition while preserving its solid math foundation.
