Summary

Elger Bay Elementary is a K–5 school on Camano Island, Washington, serving 376 students in the Stanwood-Camano School District, a mostly residential island and rural-suburban area near other north Puget Sound communities. The school has a 15.5:1 student-teacher ratio and serves a somewhat higher-need population than its closest district peers, with 41.22% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Elger Bay ranks in the 45th percentile statewide for 2025–26, while the district ranks in the 67th percentile.

Elger Bay appears to be in mid-recovery. Its statewide ranking rose from the 18th percentile in 2022–23 to the 45th percentile in 2025–26. Math has improved substantially and is now approximately at the district average: 45.76% of students are proficient, compared with 45.66% districtwide and 43.11% statewide. Science is a relative strength at 58.62%, above both district and state results. English language arts is the clearest weakness, however, with 44.32% proficiency compared with 56.00% in the district and 52.81% statewide. Fourth-grade ELA is especially concerning at 40.00%, while fifth-grade math is the largest grade-specific concern at 27.59%.

Within the Stanwood-Camano School District, Elger Bay ranks below Twin City Elementary, Stanwood Elementary School, Cedarhome Elementary School, and Utsalady Elementary. Its spending of $19,839 per student and staffing ratio are similar to nearby schools, so those measures do not clearly explain the performance gap. The school’s strongest signs are recent math and science gains and a relatively strong low-SES subgroup ranking; its priorities are rebuilding ELA performance, addressing fifth-grade math, and narrowing the gap with nearby district schools.
