Summary:
The Stevenson-Carson School District has one elementary school, Carson Elementary School, serving students from kindergarten through sixth grade at 351 Hot Springs Ave. in Carson, Washington. The school enrolls 290 students, has a 16.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and reports that 65.17% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
For parents comparing schools in the area, there is no second elementary school in this data set, so Carson is the district’s only elementary option. Its overall test results are below Washington averages in all three reported subjects, but science is a relative strength: 45.1% of students are proficient, compared with 50.95% statewide and 45.33% districtwide. English Language Arts proficiency is 29.59%, while math proficiency is 25%. ELA is the clearest schoolwide concern, with Carson about 23 percentage points below the state. The school is listed at the 47th percentile with a two-star rating in one ranking display, although another source section shows a different ranking and one-star rating; parents should treat those ratings cautiously because the comparison groups may differ.
Performance varies considerably by grade. Fifth grade has the strongest ELA result at 38%, while sixth grade has the weakest at 22.22%. Math is especially uneven: fourth grade is lowest at 13.64%, but sixth grade reaches 38.89%, nearly matching Washington’s 39.79%. Fifth-grade science is 45.1%, about 10 points below the state. These results suggest that parents may want to ask about literacy support, fourth-grade math instruction, and how the school builds on its comparatively stronger science and sixth-grade math performance. The available data does not include attendance, special-program participation, or student subgroup results, so those factors would provide useful additional context.
