Summary

Kent Prairie Elementary is a K–5 school in Arlington, Washington, serving 621 students in the Arlington School District. Located in an area with several nearby elementary schools, it is one of the larger schools in the local comparison group. The school ranks in the 70th percentile statewide and is generally a strong local performer, with results above Washington averages in English language arts, math, and science.

The clearest strength is math: 53.53% of students met standards, compared with 39.34% districtwide and 43.11% statewide. ELA proficiency was 58.01%, while science was 58.77%. Kent Prairie’s overall results were stronger than those at nearby Eagle Creek Elementary, particularly in ELA and math, despite similar enrollment, spending, and student-teacher ratios. Presidents Elementary is the closest high-performing comparison: the schools were nearly tied in ELA and math, but Presidents had a substantial science advantage, with 75% proficiency. Kent Prairie also outperformed most nearby schools in the Marysville School District and Lakewood School District.

The school’s statewide rank improved from the 55th percentile in 2023–24 to the 70th percentile in 2025–26, alongside a notable rise in ELA performance. Fourth grade was especially strong, with 62.86% proficiency in ELA and 60.95% in math. Areas to watch include fifth-grade math, at 42.98%, and a decline in science from 67.31% in 2023–24 to 58.77% most recently. Outcomes for students receiving special education services have improved but remain well below the school’s overall performance, making support for these students an important priority.
