Zip code 98077 in Woodinville, WA, is served by five public schools—three elementary, one middle, and one K-12 alternative program—across two top-ranked districts, Northshore School District and Lake Washington School District, with a total enrollment of over 2,000 students.
The area features several consistently high-performing schools, including Timbercrest Middle School, which is the largest and has maintained a top state ranking, and Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary, which has the highest ELA proficiency and is part of the higher-performing Lake Washington district. East Ridge Elementary also excels, particularly in science. In contrast, Cottage Lake Elementary has the highest per-student spending and smallest classes but lower test scores than its peers, showing that resources alone don't guarantee the highest outcomes.
