Summary:

ZIP code 98290 (Snohomish, WA) is served by seven elementary schools with a combined enrollment of 3,767 students — six in the Snohomish School District and one, Chain Lake Elementary School, in the Monroe School District. Six schools span kindergarten through 6th grade, while Chain Lake serves PK–5. Enrollment ranges from 412 at Cascade View Elementary to 694 at Dutch Hill Elementary.

Two schools stand out. Little Cedars Elementary School is the clear academic leader — ranked 112 of 1,138 Washington elementaries with 5 stars — and the only school here above state averages in all three subjects: ELA 70%, Math 70.41%, Science 73.96%. Dutch Hill Elementary is second (ELA 64.59, Math 58.51, Science 68.04) and has the fastest-rising rank (74th to 80th percentile) despite the lowest per-student spending in the group. Riverview Elementary and Chain Lake Elementary School have also climbed in rank. Across the ZIP, math proficiency spans 33 points between the top and bottom school — a wider gap than between the state and the top school.

At the other end, Central Emerson Elementary posts the lowest scores (ELA 45.88, Math 38.71, Science 37.66), a 48.85% poverty rate — more than double every other school — and the highest spending ($23,933). Cascade View Elementary has the smallest classes (14.5 students per teacher) and second-highest spending, yet the lowest math score (37.44), with its rank falling three years running. Machias Elementary declined in all three subjects. Poverty tracks performance broadly, but Dutch Hill and Machias have nearly identical poverty and spending and differ by 13.6 points in ELA.
