Summary:
ZIP code 98037 has six public elementary schools serving grades K–6 in the Edmonds School District, with about 3,124 students across the area. The schools have similar grade configurations, but academic results vary, especially in math and science. Overall proficiency averages about 45.5% in English language arts, 42.0% in math, and 41.8% in science. Compared with the district, the largest gaps are in English language arts and science, while math results are closer to the Washington average.
Oak Heights Elementary has the strongest overall current profile, ranking highest among the six schools and leading in math at 50.76%. It also has especially strong fourth- and fifth-grade math results. Meadowdale Elementary is the science leader at 49.12% and combines a strong overall ranking with the lowest student-teacher ratio. Martha Lake Elementary has the highest English language arts result at 49.47% and the biggest three-year ranking improvement, gaining 24 percentile points. Lynnwood Elementary ranks below those three but has shown steady improvement, including a strong fourth-grade math result.
Spruce Elementary and Beverly Elementary have the weakest current overall results, although Beverly shows notable third-grade strengths in both English language arts and math. Fifth-grade math is the clearest shared challenge across the area, with several schools below 40% proficiency; later-grade performance also warrants attention at Spruce and Beverly. Families comparing schools should consider both current results and momentum: Oak Heights, Martha Lake, and Lynnwood have made meaningful gains, while Meadowdale offers the strongest science profile. School rankings are useful for context, but grade-level results and subject-specific strengths provide a more complete picture.
