Summary:
Soap Lake School District contains just one elementary school, Soap Lake Elementary, serving about 328 students from Pre-K through 6th grade in a small, high-poverty community.
This school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 4% of all Washington elementary schools for the last three years. Student proficiency rates are far below state averages, with only about 11-12% of students meeting standards in English, math, and science, compared to state averages of 42-53%. The school serves a student population where over three-quarters qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic need within the Soap Lake School District.
Despite these struggles, the data shows some variation by grade level; sixth graders, for example, perform closer to (though still below) state averages, particularly in English. The district itself is ranked in the bottom 1% statewide, suggesting these are systemic challenges. For parents, this information highlights a school and district in urgent need of improvement, where students are not currently achieving at the academic levels expected across the state.
