Summary

Dick Scobee Elementary School is a PK-5 public school serving 675 students in the Auburn School District, which faces academic challenges across the district, ranking in the 34th percentile statewide.

The school's academic performance is significantly below both district and state averages, with only about a quarter of students proficient in English, math, and science. This places it in the bottom 6% of all elementary schools in Washington, a ranking that has declined dramatically over the past decade. With over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a community with significant economic need, a factor common to other lower-performing schools in the area like Pioneer Elementary and Washington Elementary.

Despite per-student spending and class sizes similar to other schools, outcomes at Dick Scobee are lower. For comparison, other Auburn schools like Hazelwood Elementary and Evergreen Heights Elementary achieve much higher proficiency rates with similar resources. Performance varies by grade and subject, with third-grade math being a relative strength, suggesting some instructional approaches could be models for improvement. The school's challenges are complex, as seen when comparing it to Meredith Hill Elementary in the Federal Way School District, which has a similar poverty level but higher test scores.
