Summary:
The Cosmopolis School District consists of a single elementary school, Cosmopolis Elementary School, serving about 175 students in grades K-6 in Cosmopolis, Washington.
This school shows a clear strength in science, where student proficiency exceeds the Washington state average. However, performance in English Language Arts and math is below the state average, with ELA being a particular area for improvement. It's important for parents to know that the school's overall ranking has dropped significantly compared to the previous two years, which may indicate recent challenges. Despite this, the school operates with a lower student-to-teacher ratio than many schools and spends more per student, which can support more individualized attention.
When looking at performance by grade, scores in both math and ELA are lowest in 3rd grade and generally improve in later grades. The school serves a high-needs population, with over half of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. As the only school in the district, its performance directly shapes the district's ranking, which currently places it in the bottom quarter of districts statewide. The notable success in science suggests there may be effective teaching strategies there that could be leveraged to help improve learning in other core subjects.
