Silver Firs Elementary

Silver Firs Elementary serves 532 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Everett, Washington. It earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — a rating of Exceptional — driven by a 9.7 academic score and a 9.5 growth score, two of the strongest combinations in the state. Those numbers translate directly to rank.

Silver Firs places first among all 38 public schools in Everett and ranks 39th out of 2,225 public schools across Washington, putting it in the top 2% statewide. The 9.7 academic score signals that students are performing well above grade-level expectations on state assessments — not a marginal edge, but a consistent, wide gap over the average Washington elementary school. With 532 students and a student-teacher ratio of 18.3 to 1, Silver Firs operates at a scale where teachers can stay closely connected to individual learners.

The 9.5 growth score is particularly telling: it measures how much students advance relative to academic peers statewide, independent of where they started. High growth at high absolute performance is rare — most schools trade off one against the other. Silver Firs delivers both, making it one of the most compelling elementary school options in the Puget Sound region for families who put academic outcomes first.
