Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 98011 include five schools in the highly rated Northshore School District, serving grades from prekindergarten through fifth grade. Four schools—Woodmoor Elementary, Woodin Elementary, Maywood Hills Elementary, and Westhill Elementary—serve students through fifth grade and report state assessment results. C O Sorenson serves only prekindergarten and kindergarten, so it is not directly comparable on elementary testing measures. The district ranks among Washington’s strongest, but school-level performance varies across the ZIP code.
Westhill Elementary is the leading overall performer, ranking 147th out of 1,138 Washington schools. It has the highest results in all-grades ELA, math, and science, as well as the strongest fifth-grade results and the lowest student–teacher ratio among the tested schools. Its science proficiency is especially notable at 82.09%. Maywood Hills Elementary is the strongest alternative, ranking 262nd and showing excellent third-grade ELA and math results. Its main area to watch is fifth-grade math, where proficiency falls to 40%. Woodmoor Elementary ranks third among the tested schools and has a strong third-grade math result, while its overall math performance improved from the prior year.
Woodin Elementary ranks fourth among the tested schools and has the lowest overall ELA and math results. Its third-grade ELA proficiency of 36.36% is the clearest academic concern in the group, and its science results declined substantially year over year. Across the four tested schools, science was the strongest area of improvement, followed by math, while ELA changed little. Families comparing schools should therefore consider both overall rankings and grade-level patterns: Westhill offers the most consistently strong results, Maywood shows considerable strength with some unevenness, Woodmoor has mixed but improving math performance, and Woodin warrants closer review of recent trends.
