Summary:
Impact | Puget Sound Elementary is a single-district, single-school system serving 505 students in grades K-5 in Tukwila, Washington.
The district consists solely of Impact Public Schools, which serves a high-need population and has shown a particular strength in mathematics, outperforming the state average. However, the school's statewide ranking within Impact | Puget Sound Elementary has declined over the past three years, dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating. A notable pattern in academic performance is that student proficiency tends to be strongest in the early grades, especially in 3rd grade math, but declines significantly by 5th grade.
For parents, the key takeaways are that the school demonstrates effective early math instruction but faces challenges maintaining that performance as students advance. Science scores are below the state average, aligning with the trend of weaker upper-grade results. Despite relatively high per-student spending, the declining ranking suggests families may want to inquire about supports for older students and how resources are being used to address the proficiency drop in grades 4 and 5.
