Summary

Elger Bay Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 376 students on Camano Island, part of the Stanwood-Camano School District, with a current statewide ranking in the 34th percentile.

Academic performance at Elger Bay is below the average for both its own district and the state in English Language Arts and Math, though its Science scores are closer to these benchmarks. The school has experienced a notable decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, a trend that differs from other elementary schools in the Stanwood-Camano School District like Cedarhome Elementary and Twin City Elementary, which have maintained higher rankings and proficiency rates. This performance gap exists despite Elger Bay having similar per-student spending and class sizes as these other district schools.

When compared to schools in neighboring districts with higher levels of economic need, such as those in the Lakewood School District, Elger Bay performs adequately. The school shows particular challenges in upper elementary grades, especially in 5th-grade Math, but also demonstrates a relative strength in Science instruction. Understanding why the school underperforms its direct district peers while matching schools in different contexts, and identifying how to address specific grade-level weaknesses, appear to be key areas for improvement.
