Summary

Edwin R Opstad Elementary is a highly-regarded public elementary school serving about 580 students in grades K-5 within the top-ranked Snoqualmie Valley School District in North Bend, Washington.

While Edwin R Opstad Elementary is a 5-star school performing in the top 7% of all elementary schools in the state, it's important to know it operates in an exceptionally strong district where all elementary schools rank in the top 10% statewide. Compared to its district peers like Cascade View Elementary School and Snoqualmie Elementary, Opstad's overall test scores in math, English, and science are solid but slightly lower. However, the school demonstrates a remarkable and consistent strength in supporting economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the top 5% of schools statewide for this subgroup over recent years.

A significant area for attention is the school's performance in special education, which has seen a notable decline and now ranks in the bottom third of Washington schools, creating a stark contrast with its otherwise high marks. Interestingly, Opstad achieves its strong academic outcomes with the lowest per-student spending in the Snoqualmie Valley School District, suggesting efficient operations. When compared to high-performing schools in neighboring districts like the Issaquah School District and Tahoma School District, Opstad remains competitive, outperforming schools like Tahoma Elementary.

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
