Summary

Washington Elementary is a K–6 school in Riverside, California, serving 818 students in Riverside Unified. Its latest results are below district and state averages in all three tested subjects, but the clearest concern is English language arts (ELA): 36% of students met proficiency, 12 points below the district and 14 below the state, and sixth-grade ELA was the lowest among ten nearby schools.

Math is the school’s strongest subject relative to local and district results: 34% met proficiency, about 1 point below the district, 5 below the state and 3 below the nearby-school average. It ranked sixth of ten nearby schools in math. ELA was weaker than the nearby average of 44%, placing the school ninth of ten. Science results were also below the district and state—27% proficient, 6 and 9 points lower, respectively—but were close to the nearby-school average, and the school ranked sixth of ten. Chronic absenteeism is a notable positive: the 9% rate was the lowest among nearby schools and below the district’s 17% and the state’s 18%.

Results improved recently, especially in math, which rose 9 points from 2024–25 to 34% in 2025–26; ELA rose 6 points, while science recovered 14 points from its prior-year low. Over four years, however, ELA was essentially flat and science was down 1 point. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 39th percentile with 2 stars, up from the 22nd percentile and 1 star the year before, but still below the statewide midpoint. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 23.3, compared with 24.2 nearby. In 2024–25, 64% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-lowest share among the ten schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Special Education Students was notably stronger: the school was at the 73rd percentile, compared with its overall 39th percentile, up from 31 two years earlier.

The school does not work WITH the parents to make sure students are successful. They treat parents and students poorly. Close Quote
