Summary

Stanwood Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving about 430 students in Stanwood, Washington, within the Stanwood-Camano School District. Located in a community north of Mount Vernon and near Camano Island, the school is about 2.2 miles from Twin City Elementary and 2.3 miles from Cedarhome Elementary School. Stanwood ranks 345th of 1,138 Washington elementary schools for 2025–26, placing it around the 70th percentile statewide and making it a solidly above-average, three-star school.

The school’s latest academic results are stronger than both district and state averages in every reported subject: 58.82% of students are proficient in English language arts, 50.49% in math, and 67.61% in science. Science is the clearest strength, ranking highest among the nearby same-district schools and standing 16.66 percentage points above the state rate. Stanwood also leads those schools in ELA, while Twin City Elementary is the local math leader at 60.71%. Compared with Cedarhome Elementary School, Stanwood has stronger ELA and science results but somewhat lower math performance.

Stanwood improved substantially in 2025–26, rising from the 54th percentile the previous year to the 70th percentile after gains in all three subjects. Science increased from 45.59% to 67.61%, although that large change should be viewed cautiously because results have varied considerably by year. Grade-level data show improving ELA from 47.62% in third grade to 67.61% in fifth grade, while math remains near 50% across all three tested grades. The school’s 82nd-percentile statewide ranking for low-income students is especially encouraging. With a student-teacher ratio of 17.4 and nearly 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Stanwood’s strongest priorities appear to be sustaining its science gains and improving third- and fourth-grade math.
