Summary

Impact Public Schools is a K-5 elementary school serving 505 students in Tukwila, Washington, operating within the Impact | Puget Sound Elementary district and standing out for its effective support of high-need students despite a recent decline in its overall state ranking.

The school is particularly strong in helping specific groups of students succeed, with its English Language Learners and students from low-income families ranking in the top tiers statewide. In math, the school's students outperform the Washington state average, which is a significant achievement given the community it serves. However, there are areas of concern, including a notable performance gap where female students are scoring lower than male students, and math scores that tend to drop as students move into the upper grades. The school's overall performance ranking has also fallen over the past four years.

When compared to its closest neighbors, Impact Public Schools delivers substantially better results. For example, it dramatically outperforms nearby schools like Thorndyke Elementary and Cascade View Elementary, which are in the Tukwila School District. Impact achieves these stronger outcomes while spending less per student than most surrounding schools, suggesting it uses its resources very efficiently to benefit its learners.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, June 23, 2022

Very high teacher turnover rate. My daughter went here for 3 years and had 12 different teachers during that time. It's very hard on kids to have grown ups come and go so frequently from their life mid-year. She cried for several days when both teachers quit on the same day and she never got to say goodbye this year. One teacher who resigned wanted to come say goodbye the next day and the school wouldn't allow them on campus to do so.
They also have a very disappointing SPED program. We didn't get our IEP for my son until two months into the school year even though we had submitted our prior IEP 6 months prior to school starting. They seem to have an even higher turnover rate of SPED employees, and we had 9 weeks during the schoolyear of no SPED educators on staff. They also only have 1 para for the entire school, which led to my son's diaper changing getting missed resulting in some health issues. They also had several months without a para on staff at all during the middle of the school year.
This school hires WONDERFUL staff, but they are unable to keep them for some reason which is just harmful to kids. Close Quote
