Summary

Washington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving about 500 students from preschool through 5th grade in an urban setting within the Auburn School District.

Academically, the school is currently rated 1-star and ranks in the 27th percentile statewide, though recent years show a slight upward trend from a lower position. Its performance varies significantly by subject and grade; for instance, its math scores are close to the state average and above the district, while English scores are lower. The school shows notable effectiveness with English Language Learners but faces challenges with consistency across different grade levels. It operates with a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 14-to-1 and has the highest per-student spending among nearby schools at over $21,000.

When compared to other local schools, Washington Elementary serves a community with a high level of economic need. Interestingly, schools with similar demographics show a wide range of results. For example, nearby Terminal Park Elementary performs significantly better, while Dick Scobee Elementary performs worse. Schools like Lea Hill Elementary and Alpac Elementary achieve higher rankings while spending less per student, indicating that resources alone do not determine outcomes.
