Summary:
The Winlock School District has one elementary school, Winlock Miller Elementary, serving about 415 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in a community with high economic need.
As the district's only elementary school, Winlock Miller Elementary's performance directly reflects the Winlock School District's overall standing, which is in the bottom quarter of districts statewide. The school's academic proficiency, particularly in math and English, is significantly below Washington state averages, with a recent drop in its statewide ranking to the 15th percentile. However, the school invests more per student than many schools, spending over $14,800 annually.
Key insights show that while English scores improve from 3rd to 5th grade, math proficiency remains low across all grades, indicating a critical area for focus. The school serves a population where nearly two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is an important context for understanding its challenges and resource allocation. For parents, this means the elementary school is navigating significant academic hurdles within the district, with math instruction and consistent year-to-year performance being specific areas needing attention and improvement.
