Summary

Washington Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 818 students in the Riverside Unified district, located at 2760 Jane St. in Riverside, which has seen a significant and steady decline in its statewide academic ranking over the past several years.

Academically, the school faces considerable challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and especially science falling well below both district and state averages. This performance gap is notable when compared to nearby schools like Magnolia Elementary and Pachappa Elementary, which serve similar student populations but achieve much higher results. The school's performance has dropped from the 52nd percentile in 2022 to the 22nd percentile in 2025, with particularly low scores for students from low-income families.

Despite these academic struggles, Washington Elementary has a clear strength in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate notably better than the district, state, and most surrounding schools like Monroe Elementary and Madison Elementary. The school also shows relatively stronger outcomes for its special education students. The data suggests that while the school has successfully improved attendance, this positive change has not yet translated into better academic achievement.
