Summary:
Longview School District includes 17 schools serving kindergarten through grade 12 in the Longview area, with nine elementary schools, three middle schools, five high schools, and several specialized programs. Overall, the district ranks in the 35th percentile statewide, but performance varies considerably from school to school.
Among elementary schools, Columbia Valley Garden Elementary School is the clearest standout, ranking in the 58th percentile and leading the district in 2025–26 math, with 52.81% of students proficient. Robert Gray Elementary and Columbia Heights Elementary also posted relatively strong math results. Kessler Elementary School remains below district averages, but its ranking improved from the 7th to the 18th percentile over three years, and its science proficiency increased substantially. At the middle-school level, Monticello Middle School leads with a 59th-percentile ranking and the strongest results in ELA, math, and science. Cascade Middle School has improved gradually, particularly in science.
For high schools, R.A. Long High School offers the strongest overall traditional high-school profile, with a 92.6% graduation rate, a 2.6% dropout rate, and the district’s best high-school ELA and science results. Mark Morris High School has a similarly strong graduation rate and ELA performance. The major districtwide concern is high-school math: proficiency is below 25% at the traditional high schools. Longview Virtual Academy and the Discovery High School programs serve different student populations and have limited or suppressed testing data, so their results should be interpreted separately from conventional schools.
