School Overview

Sunnyland Elementary sits in one of Bellingham's more established neighborhoods, just a short drive from the waterfront and the kind of Pacific Northwest charm that makes this city so hard to leave. The school's science scores stand out well above its English and math numbers, making it a solid fit for families with curious, hands-on learners who thrive on exploration — not a surprise in a community surrounded by trails, tidepools, and outdoor discovery. Bellingham itself is a laid-back, outdoorsy city with a strong sense of place, and Sunnyland feels very much a part of that fabric.
