Elementary Schools in Port Angeles School District

Summary:

The Port Angeles School District serves approximately 1,700 students across five elementary schools (Roosevelt Elementary School, Dry Creek Elementary, Hamilton Elementary, Franklin Elementary, and Jefferson Elementary), all offering grades PK-6 in a district ranked in the top third statewide.

Academic performance varies among the schools, with Hamilton Elementary standing out as the top performer, achieving the highest state ranking and proficiency rates in English, math, and science. Franklin Elementary shows the most notable improvement in recent years. In contrast, Roosevelt Elementary School, the largest school, has consistently lower proficiency scores across subjects. Overall, the district's students perform slightly above the Washington state average in all core subjects, with a particular strength in science.

Key insights show that higher per-student spending does not directly correlate with better outcomes, as seen at Jefferson Elementary. The data also reveals significant performance gaps between schools within the same district, suggesting factors like specific instructional practices or school culture play a major role. For parents, this highlights the importance of looking at individual school performance and improvement trends, as experiences can differ even within the well-regarded Port Angeles School District.
