Summary

Washington Elementary serves 492 students in grades K–6 in Lynwood, alongside a group of nearby elementary schools. Its 2025–2026 results are a standout locally: the school leads the nearby group in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most important finding is that it also scores above the state and district averages in all three subjects.

The school’s largest edge over the state is in ELA: 57% proficient, compared with 49% statewide and 36% in Lynwood Unified. Its math results are 43%, versus 38% statewide and 23% districtwide; science is 42%, versus 36% statewide and 17% districtwide. Nearby-school averages are 35% in ELA, 26% in math, and 20% in science. Hollydale is the closest nearby school in ELA, 14 points behind; Will Rogers Elementary is closest in math, 7 points behind; and Soleil Academy Charter is closest in science, 14 points behind. The main academic concern is math in grades 3 and 4, where Washington is below the state: 39% versus 47% in grade 3, and 38% versus 42% in grade 4.

Results have improved substantially since 2022–2023: ELA rose 14 percentage points to 57%, math 12 points to 43%, and science 20 points to 42%. SchoolDigger ranks Washington at the 68th percentile statewide and gives it 3 stars; nearby schools rank from the 17th to the 44th percentile. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Hispanic students is especially high, at the 86th percentile, and its ranking for students with low socioeconomic status is at the 84th percentile.
