Summary:
The Lopez School District in Washington serves a rural island community and contains one elementary school, Lopez Elementary School, which educates about 91 students in grades K-6 with a very low student-teacher ratio.
Lopez Elementary shows clear academic strengths, particularly in English Language Arts, where student proficiency consistently exceeds state averages and shows impressive growth by 6th grade. Science performance is also solid, matching the state average. The school operates with high per-student spending, which supports its small class sizes and personalized learning environment. However, a significant area for improvement is mathematics, where proficiency rates are notably below the state average, indicating a need for focused attention in that subject area.
Parents should note that the school's statewide ranking has varied from year to year, which can be common for very small schools where a few students' scores can shift the overall percentage more dramatically. The school is part of a Lopez School District that is highly ranked overall in Washington. The school serves a community with economic need, yet its performance in ELA and science demonstrates its capacity to support students effectively in those areas.
