Families comparing schools should note several areas needing closer attention. Woodin Elementary has the lowest current ranking and weakest English results among the tested schools, while its science proficiency declined substantially. Woodmoor Elementary has stronger math than English performance but shows uneven results across grades. At Bothell High School, science achievement is much weaker than its graduation and English results. Science varies most widely across the area, and fifth-grade math is a recurring weakness at several elementary schools. C O Sorenson serves PK–K only and should be considered separately because it does not have comparable state assessment or ranking data.
