Summary:

Moses Lake School District serves 8,209 students across 19 schools in the Moses Lake, Washington area, including elementary, middle, high, alternative, re-engagement, and technical education programs. Overall, the district ranks 179th of 238 Washington districts, placing it around the 25th percentile with a one-star rating, but school quality varies widely.

Sage Point Elementary School is the district’s strongest overall school, ranking in the 77th percentile for three consecutive years and earning four stars. It leads the district in ELA, math, and science, with especially strong science results. Other elementary schools showing solid performance or recent improvement include Longview Elementary, Vicki I. Groff Elementary School, and Peninsula Elementary. Longview and Groff both improved substantially in ranking, while Longview performed well despite serving a relatively high-need student population. In contrast, Larson Heights Elementary and Knolls Vista Elementary have among the lowest proficiency results.

Math is the district’s clearest academic challenge, particularly at the middle and high school levels. Columbia Middle School is the strongest middle school, while Endeavor Middle School remains the lowest-ranked despite improvement. Moses Lake High School has the district’s strongest reported graduation outcome at 89.2%, though its math proficiency is weak. Digital Learning Center and Vanguard Academy report lower graduation and academic results, while MLSD Open Doors Re-Engagement Program serves a different student population and should not be compared directly with traditional high schools. Test, graduation, and spending figures are not available for every program, so missing data should not be interpreted as poor performance.
