Summary

Utsalady Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 391 students on Camano Island, Washington, within the Stanwood-Camano School District.

The school presents a mixed academic picture, with a notable strength in science where student proficiency exceeds both district and state averages. However, it faces significant challenges in mathematics, where its scores are the lowest among most comparison schools in its own district, such as Cedarhome Elementary and Twin City Elementary. Over the past decade, the school's statewide ranking has declined, and it currently spends more per student than several nearby schools that achieve stronger results, including Conway School District 317 and Coupeville Elementary School.

Performance varies considerably between different groups of students and across grade levels, with particular inconsistency noted in serving students from low-income families. The school's results show uneven development from grade to grade, with a noticeable dip in fourth-grade scores. Compared to higher-performing peers in other districts like Oak Harbor Elementary, Utsalady has clear opportunities to improve the consistency and effectiveness of its educational programs.
