Summary

Bonney Lake Elementary in Bonney Lake, WA, is a 435-student PK–5 school in the strong Sumner-Bonney Lake School District, which ranks 13th out of 238 Washington districts. The school ranks 120th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 89th percentile statewide and earning four stars. It is a strong upper-tier school locally, although it is not the district’s top-performing campus.

Academic results are well above state averages in every reported subject: 72.81% of students were proficient in English language arts, 71.18% in math, and 69.33% in science, compared with 52.81%, 43.11%, and 50.95% statewide. Math is the clearest strength relative to the district, exceeding its average by nearly 11 points. Third-grade math was especially strong at 80.28%, while fourth grade was a weaker point, with 65.85% proficiency in math and 67.07% in ELA. Among nearby schools, Emerald Hills Elementary, Maple Lawn Elementary, and Victor Falls Elementary generally post higher results, but Bonney Lake outperforms most other local comparison schools.

The school’s latest results declined from the prior year, particularly in science, which fell from 77.78% to 69.33%, and math, which fell from 76.82% to 71.18%. Even so, its longer-term ranking remains substantially stronger than earlier in the decade. Bonney Lake also shows notable comparative effectiveness for students from low-income families, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide, and for students receiving special education services, ranking in the 91st percentile. Its 16.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio and $18,236 per-student spending are middle-to-upper range locally. Families may want to monitor fourth-grade outcomes and whether recent math and science declines continue.
