Elementary Schools in Washougal School District

Summary:

The Washougal School District, ranked in the 65th percentile statewide, operates four elementary schools (grades K-5) serving the community of Washougal in southwest Washington.

Among these schools, Hathaway Elementary stands out as the top performer, achieving the highest scores in English and Science despite having the highest percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Cape Horn Skye Elementary has shown the most improvement in its statewide ranking and has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate. In contrast, Columbia River Gorge Elementary has experienced a significant decline in its ranking over the past two years, and Gause Elementary currently holds the lowest rank in the district.

As a group, these schools in the Washougal School District perform well above the state average in Science but struggle more with Math, with only Cape Horn Skye scoring above the state math average. Performance can vary greatly between grade levels within the same school. Interestingly, the schools with higher per-student spending are not the highest ranked, indicating that factors beyond funding play a major role in student success.
