Summary

Robert Gray Elementary is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving 210 students in the Aberdeen School District, a community facing significant economic challenges.

Academically, the school is struggling significantly, ranking in the bottom 4% of all Washington elementary schools. Test scores in English, math, and science are less than half the state average, and the school has experienced a sharp decline from a much higher ranking eight years ago. While the school has a very high rate of students from low-income families, other nearby schools with similar poverty levels, like A J West Elementary and Stevens Elementary School, achieve notably better academic results, indicating that challenges can be addressed.

Notably, Robert Gray Elementary spends more per student than other schools in its district, yet it performs worse than peers like Central Park Elementary. Schools in the neighboring Montesano School District, such as Simpson Avenue Elementary, dramatically outperform with lower spending, showing that improvement is possible with different approaches.
