Fairmount has been recognized by the School Board of Education for Closing Gaps in the 2022-23 school year by making significant progress in areas that were previously identified for improvement. I am incredibly proud of the hard work the staff and students at Fairmount commit to daily. Our mission is ensuring that every student has an opportunity to Achieve their Highest Potential in a safe, caring, inclusive learning community.

The data utilized for this recognition is ELA and Math Assessments (SBA), English Learner Progress (WIDA), and graduation rate (does not apply to Fairmount).

Built in 1952, Fairmount is one of the oldest schools in the Mukilteo School District. The facility was remodeled in 1993 and a new 12-room, two-story addition was opened in the fall of 1999 to replace aging portables and a modular building. The office area was also extensively remodeled in 1999.

Currently, there are 26 permanent classrooms, a flex room/cafeteria, a library, a gymnasium, a music room, and a computer lab. The building also houses our LAP, Title I, ML, Resource model, and Primary Support programs. 

Outside facilities include a covered play area and a sand field. Our facilities are often used by a variety of community groups and organizations. The Boys and Girls Club provides before- and after-school daycare at our facility during the school year. 

Fairmount is a culturally and academically diverse school that serves students with a strong instructional program, a wide range of activities, an extensive student recognition program, and an ongoing partnership with parents and the community. Our goal is to help all students reach their maximum academic, physical, and social potential.

In addition to the general education program for 1st through 5th grade, we house four of the school district’s Lighthouse and Structured programs for primary, self-contained, special education students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Our Multi-Language (ML) program supports students speaking 37 different languages. A variety of instructional strategies are used to teach all populations, including cooperative learning, peer tutoring, team teaching, whole-group, small-group, and individual instruction.
