Summary:
Acme, Washington is a small rural community served by one elementary school, Acme Elementary, which educates 168 students from kindergarten through 6th grade within the Mount Baker School District.
Acme Elementary shows notable strengths in early education, with its 3rd graders performing significantly above district averages in both math and English. However, academic performance varies widely between grades, declining sharply by the 6th grade, where math proficiency is notably low. The school spends more per student than the state average and has shown recent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the 20th to the 29th percentile.
The school serves a community where over half of the students face economic disadvantages, which presents ongoing challenges. While test scores in core subjects generally trail state averages, the school's performance is close to or slightly better than the Mount Baker School District overall. The inconsistency in results across grade levels suggests a need to understand and replicate the successful strategies used in the lower grades throughout the entire school.
