Summary

Alpine Lakes Elementary is a well-regarded public school serving 252 students in grades 3 through 5 in the Cascade School District in Leavenworth, a district that consistently outperforms neighboring systems.

The school is a consistent high performer, earning a 4-star rating and ranking above 80% of schools in Washington. Its students score significantly higher than state averages in English, math, and science, with math being a particular strength. This success is notable because half of the students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and the school excels at supporting these learners, ranking in the 87th percentile for that group. However, the data shows a significant and concerning need for improvement in supporting its Special Education students, whose performance has declined sharply in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Alpine Lakes stands out. It outperforms most elementary schools in the larger Wenatchee School District and holds its own against other high-performing schools like Sunnyslope Elementary and Vale Elementary. While it spends more per student than some local alternatives, its strong and improving academic results across most student groups suggest this investment is effective for the majority of its learners.
