Summary:

ZIP code 98208 includes 11 public schools serving elementary and middle-grade students across the Everett School District, Mukilteo School District, and Snohomish School District; the area offers several highly ranked schools but no high school in this list.

The strongest academic options are Silver Firs Elementary, Forest View Elementary School, and Gateway Middle School. Silver Firs is the highest-ranked elementary school, with 82.37% proficiency in English language arts, 85.08% in math, and 90% in science. Forest View has similarly impressive results and has remained near the top of the state for several years. Gateway is the leading middle school, ranking in the top 5% statewide and outperforming Eisenhower Middle School in all three subjects. Other strong choices include Seattle Hill Elementary, which stands out for its 80% science proficiency, and Monroe Elementary, one of the area’s most improved schools.

Performance varies considerably across the ZIP code. Discovery Elementary has the lowest results, with proficiency rates in the mid-20s and a statewide ranking near the bottom, while Emerson Elementary School also trails most nearby schools, particularly in English language arts. Silver Lake Elementary falls in the middle, and Penny Creek Elementary and Jefferson Elementary provide additional comparisons within the Everett School District. Science is the strongest subject overall, but results differ sharply between schools. Student-teacher ratios and spending also do not consistently predict achievement, so families should consider academic results, school needs, programs, and the high school serving their specific address.
