Summary

Utsalady Elementary is a K–5 school in Camano Island serving 391 students in the Stanwood-Camano School District, an area where nearby schools are typically 4–7 miles away and staffing is similar across the district. The school has a 15:1 student-teacher ratio and ranks in the 53rd percentile statewide, or 538th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools. That is a notable recovery from the 44th percentile in 2023–24, though it remains below its 62nd–65th percentile results from 2020–21 through 2022–23.

Science is Utsalady’s clearest strength: 60% of students were proficient in 2025–26, compared with 50.95% statewide and 52.39% across the district. Its ELA proficiency was 48.44%, below the state’s 52.81% and the district’s 56%, while math was 45.45%—slightly above the statewide 43.11% and close to the district’s 45.66%. Fifth-grade ELA stands out at 61.67%, exceeding both district and state rates, while third- and fourth-grade ELA are weaker. Utsalady trails nearby district leaders such as Twin City Elementary, Stanwood Elementary School, and Cedarhome Elementary School, but is competitive with several Oak Harbor-area schools.

The latest year brought encouraging gains in math, which rose from 40.32% to 45.45%, and science, which increased from 53.45% to 60%; ELA declined from 51.08% to 48.44%. Utsalady’s low-income student subgroup ranking improved sharply, reaching the 84th percentile, suggesting particularly strong recent effectiveness for that group. About 32.48% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, similar to Cedarhome and below several other nearby schools. Reported per-student spending was $21,054 in 2023–24, higher than the comparable district schools, so the main opportunity is improving ELA—especially in grades 3 and 4—while building on the school’s science success.
