Summary

Carrolls Elementary is a small K–5 school in Kelso, Washington, serving 107 students at its Old Pacific Highway South location in the Kelso School District. Its small enrollment is substantially below that of most nearby elementary schools, making individual grade cohorts more likely to affect year-to-year results. The school currently ranks 748th among 1,138 Washington elementary schools and has a two-star rating, although its latest test results are stronger than its overall ranking suggests.

In 2025–26, 55.17% of students were proficient in English language arts and 48.28% in math—above both district and statewide averages. Carrolls ranked second among nearby schools in both subjects, just behind Rose Valley Elementary, which posted 57.58% in ELA and 53.54% in math. Carrolls also outperformed nearby Olympic Elementary School, Kessler Elementary School, Saint Helens Elementary, and Northlake Elementary School in both subjects. Science results are suppressed by the state and therefore cannot be evaluated.

The clearest strength is third grade, where both ELA and math proficiency reached 70.83%. Results were weaker in fourth grade and especially fifth-grade math, which was 23.08%, pointing to upper-grade math as the most important improvement area. ELA has improved gradually in recent years, while math has declined from 56.00% in 2023–24 but remains above district and state averages. Carrolls’ student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is favorable compared with most nearby schools, and 52.34% of students qualified for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. Overall, the school offers competitive current achievement and a small-school setting, but families should consider the uneven grade-level results and substantial decline from its earlier statewide ranking peak.
