Elementary Schools in Vancouver School District


Summary:

The Vancouver School District includes 23 elementary schools serving grades K-5 in southwest Washington, with academic performance varying widely across the area.

Top-performing schools like Benjamin Franklin Elementary, Felida Elementary School, and Salmon Creek Elementary consistently earn 4-star ratings and rank in the state's top 20%, with proficiency rates well above the district average. In contrast, schools such as Fruit Valley Elementary School, Roosevelt Elementary School, and Peter S Ogden Elementary face significant challenges, ranking in the state's bottom percentile with very low test scores.

Overall, the district's performance lags behind state averages, with over half of its elementary schools receiving 0 or 1-star ratings. Notable findings include a strong correlation between economic disadvantage and lower test scores, a concerning decline in math proficiency from 3rd to 5th grade in many schools, and the fact that higher per-student spending does not guarantee better outcomes. Promising newer schools like Vancouver Innovation Technology and Arts Elementary show mid-tier performance, while science scores are a relative strength for several schools in the district.
