Summary

Totem Falls Elementary is a highly-rated public school serving approximately 412 students in grades K-6 within the Snohomish School District in Snohomish, WA, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the top 10% of all Washington elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

The school demonstrates significant strengths, particularly in science, where over 90% of students meet state standards—a rate far exceeding both district and state averages and the highest among nearby schools. Performance is consistently strong in English and math as well. Totem Falls operates with a lower student-to-teacher ratio than most area schools and has higher per-student spending, which may contribute to its supportive learning environment. When compared to other schools in the Everett School District, such as Cedar Wood Elementary and Tambark Creek Elementary School, which rank even higher, it shows that exceptional academic achievement is common in the broader region.

An interesting pattern at Totem Falls is a noticeable dip in 6th-grade scores, especially in math, a trend also seen at neighboring schools like Cathcart Elementary, suggesting a potential area of focus for supporting students in their final year of elementary school. The school has shown steady improvement in recent years and stands out as the top performer within its own district, building on a particularly exceptional science program.

Thursday, August 30, 2012

Great school. Wonderful parent involvement as well. You get input each year as to what teacher/learning style would be ideal for your student the following year. If there is an issue, they take care of it right away. Our daughter had a pesky little boy bothering her on the bus for a month. She was becoming more upset by his actions so I finally called the school. They spoke to the boy and his parents and had him put in an assigned seat on the bus for the rest of the year the very next day, issue solved. Teachers are so friendly, it does not get any better then Totem Falls! Close Quote
