Summary

Daffodil Valley Elementary is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 524 students in the high-performing Sumner-Bonney Lake School District.

This school stands out for achieving strong academic results while serving a community with significant economic need; over half of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is the highest rate among elementary schools in its own district. Despite this challenge, student proficiency in Math (65%), English (58.5%), and Science (58.3%) is solidly above the Washington state average. In fact, the school has shown remarkable improvement, climbing from a 2-star to a 4-star rating over the past five years. It performs particularly well for specific student groups, such as English Language Learners and students from low-income families, ranking in the 80th percentile or higher for these groups statewide.

When compared to nearby schools with similar levels of economic need, like Spinning Elementary in the Puyallup School District or Stewart Elementary, Daffodil Valley's academic outcomes are notably stronger. Within its own district, schools like Emerald Hills Elementary and Bonney Lake Elementary have higher overall rankings, but they also serve communities with considerably less economic need. This context highlights Daffodil Valley's effectiveness in supporting its students' success.
