Summary:
Schools serving ZIP code 98270 in Marysville include 12 programs across elementary, middle, and high-school grades, with 5,889 students, all associated with the Marysville School District. Overall performance varies considerably, giving families a wide range of options and outcomes within the area. The district ranks in the 29th percentile statewide in the supplied data, but several local schools perform above district averages.
The strongest overall results come from Marysville Coop Program, which ranks in the 81st percentile and has the area’s strongest elementary results, although its small enrollment may make scores more sensitive to year-to-year changes. Among traditional elementary schools, Sunnyside Elementary leads in science, while Grove Elementary has the strongest math performance and improved sharply in ranking. Cedarcrest School is the stronger middle school, outperforming Totem Middle School by roughly 16 to 25 percentage points across reading, math, and science. Totem remains the area’s largest traditional academic concern, ranking in the 7th percentile statewide.
Marysville Getchell High School has the strongest high-school completion outcomes, with an 88.4% graduation rate and a 7.4% dropout rate, both better than district and state results; however, math remains weak. Marysville NWESD 189 Youth Engagement serves a smaller, specialized student population and reports a much lower graduation rate, so comparisons with Getchell require context. Across the area, math is the most persistent academic weakness. Families may also want to consider attendance, school climate, student supports, and multi-year growth, since one-year test scores can fluctuate substantially—especially at smaller programs such as the Coop.
