of 1,138 Washington Elementary Schools

Better than 96% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Edwin R Opstad Elementary is a K–5 school in North Bend serving 581 students in the Snoqualmie Valley School District, a particularly strong district in a community surrounded by several high-performing elementary schools. Opstad ranks 51st out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 96th percentile with a five-star rating. Its 13.08% free- or reduced-price lunch rate, 16.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and $17,457 per-student spending provide useful context when comparing it with other schools.

Academically, Opstad is strongest in math. In 2025–2026, 80.55% of students were proficient in math, compared with 73.84% districtwide and 43.11% statewide. ELA proficiency was 79.86%, nearly identical to the district and far above the state’s 52.81%, while science reached 80.90%, also well above Washington’s 50.95%. Results improved in all three subjects from the prior year, with science showing the largest gain. Grade-level results are more uneven: third-grade ELA and math were especially strong, while fourth-grade ELA and math trailed district results. Fifth-grade math was suppressed by the state to protect privacy, so it should be treated as unknown rather than as a low score.

Opstad’s long-term progress is notable, rising from the 80th percentile in 2020–2021 to the 96th percentile today. It is part of a remarkably competitive local group: Cascade View Elementary School ranks 34th, Snoqualmie Elementary 49th, and Timber Ridge Elementary School 52nd statewide. Opstad outperforms nearby North Bend Elementary School in reported ELA and math results, while its math performance is among the district’s best. Strong subgroup effectiveness, including a rise in the special education ranking from the 29th to the 72nd percentile, adds to the school’s positive outlook. Key opportunities are sustaining science gains and improving fourth-grade ELA and math.

Our two kids attend Opstad. Great school, with amazing teachers, and just needs to have their facilities updated. Bring on those taxes! :-) Close Quote

My two kids are now in Middle School, but both attended Opstad from K thru 5th grade. Between the two kids, I think they had 10 different teachers. There wasn't a 'bad' one in the bunch, and 90% of them were well above average. Every teacher we dealt with seemed to have the best interests of the kids at heart. The school serves a large area, with a diverse socioeconomic population, and they seem to do a good job of covering the range. Close Quote

Great teachers and a real community. Best school our two children have attended...better than the private preschools and Montessori kindergarten schools they went to. Close Quote
