Summary:
Rock Island, Washington is served by one public elementary school, Rock Island Elementary, which educates 288 students in grades K-6 within the mid-ranked Eastmont School District.
Rock Island Elementary faces significant academic challenges, performing below both its district and Washington state averages in all core subjects. The school's 1-star rating and ranking in the bottom 21st percentile of elementary schools reflect these struggles, particularly in mathematics and science where proficiency rates are roughly half the state average. However, the school serves a high-needs population, with nearly 73% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and shows a slight positive trend, having improved its statewide ranking over the past three years.
Key areas for attention include a steep decline in math performance in the upper grades, with only 14.29% of 6th graders proficient, and a wide gap in science achievement. In contrast, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts performance exceeds state and district averages, indicating a foundation to build upon. With per-student spending above $17,000, understanding how resources support student growth is crucial for this community's only public elementary school.
