Summary:
Maple Falls, Washington, is served by one public elementary school, Kendall Elementary, which educates about 317 students in grades K-6 within the Mount Baker School District.
Kendall Elementary operates with significant resources, spending over $20,000 per student and maintaining a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14-to-1. However, the school faces academic challenges, with its overall state ranking in the 17th percentile and proficiency rates in English Language Arts (34.8%) and Math (23.4%) below both district and state averages. A key strength is its science program, where student proficiency at 47.6% is notably higher than the district and close to the state average.
The school serves a community with high economic need, with about 73% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school shows a pattern of gradual improvement in its state ranking over the last three years. Performance data also reveals that student outcomes in English Language Arts improve considerably in the upper elementary grades, though math scores remain low across all grades, indicating an area for focused support.
