Best Public Schools in Zip Code 98036

Summary:

The 98036 zip code in Lynnwood and Brier, Washington, is served by 12 public schools in the Edmonds School District, ranging from elementary to high school, with performance varying significantly across the area.

Schools in more affluent parts of the community, like Brier Elementary and Hilltop Elementary, consistently rank among the top in the state with test scores well above the district average, while College Place Elementary and Cedar Valley Elementary face substantial academic challenges with proficiency rates far below district benchmarks. At the middle school level, Brier Terrace Middle School is a standout performer, whereas College Place Middle School performs closer to the district average.

The high school options present distinct pathways: the Edmonds eLearning Academy is an online alternative with mixed results, and the Edmonds Career Access Program serves a highly at-risk population. Overall, math proficiency is a relative weakness across most schools compared to English, and higher per-student spending does not directly correlate with better outcomes, highlighting the complex factors influencing school performance within the same district.
