Elementary Schools in Clover Park School District

Summary:

This analysis covers 17 elementary schools within the Clover Park School District in Washington, serving grades PK-5 (with one K-6 school), a district that overall ranks in the bottom third statewide.

Performance varies dramatically across the district. Standout schools include Beachwood Elementary School, which ranks among the top 15% of elementary schools in Washington with exceptional test scores, especially in science, followed by other strong performers like Rainier Elementary School and Meriwether Elementary School. On the other end, schools such as Park Lodge Elementary School, Tyee Park Elementary School, and Lakeview Hope Academy face significant academic challenges, ranking in the lowest 10% statewide.

A notable pattern is that the higher-performing schools are primarily located on Joint Base Lewis-McChord and serve military families, while the district's schools on average perform below state benchmarks, particularly in math. Interestingly, higher per-student spending does not correlate with better outcomes, and some schools show considerable year-to-year ranking changes. The specialized Oak Grove program, with only 11 students, is a unique case within the district.
