Summary

Kent Prairie Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 621 students in the Arlington School District, consistently performing as a strong, 3-star school within its region.

The school's standout strengths are in math and science, where student proficiency rates are significantly higher than both the district and state averages. In fact, Kent Prairie leads other Arlington School District elementary schools like Presidents Elementary and Eagle Creek Elementary in these subjects. It also generally outperforms many schools in neighboring districts, such as those in Marysville School District and Lakewood School District. The school is particularly effective in supporting students from low-income families, achieving well above-average results for this group.

While performance is consistent across most student groups, the school faces a significant challenge in serving its Special Education students, an area identified for urgent improvement. With moderate per-student spending and a reasonable class size, Kent Prairie demonstrates that it can achieve above-average academic outcomes compared to nearby schools with similar resources, such as Pioneer Elementary.
