Washington Elementary School District

Washington Elementary School District includes 33 schools—28 elementary schools and 5 middle schools—along with an online academy, serving families across a range of school sizes and grade spans. The clearest area-wide finding is that results vary widely from school to school: 2025–26 all-grade proficiency ranges from 14% to 61% in ELA and from 10% to 53% in math, so the district averages alone can hide very different school experiences.

Lookout Mountain School leads the all-grade results, with 61% proficient in ELA and 53% in math—20 percentage points above the state in both subjects. Abraham Lincoln Traditional School is another broad standout, at 52% in ELA and 46% in math, respectively 11 and 13 points above the state. By contrast, Mountain View Elementary School is lowest, at 14% in ELA and 10% in math—27 and 23 points below state results. Washington Elementary School also falls below the state, with 17% in ELA and 13% in math. Across schools, the unweighted averages are 30% in ELA and 26% in math, compared with 41% and 33% statewide.

Recent SchoolDigger ranking percentiles show mixed movement rather than a clear upward trend: among 31 schools with comparable figures, 17 rose, 13 fell and one was unchanged; the group average edged down from 29.1 to 28.5. Some schools also stand out in particular grades: Sweetwater School has 56% proficiency in fifth-grade math, 18 points above the state, despite an all-grade math result of 30%; Lincoln leads fifth-grade science at 49%, while Shaw Butte School has the lowest reported fifth-grade science result, at 12%. School size and student-teacher ratios do not form a simple pattern with scores: Lookout has the largest enrollment, 979, while Mountain View enrolls 903; ratios range from 10.4 at Sweetwater to 21.3 at Roadrunner. Grade spans differ, and free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable, so families may find grade-specific results more useful when comparing schools.
