Summary

Yacolt Primary is a public elementary school serving 747 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade in the Battle Ground School District, consistently earning a solid 3-star rating in recent years.

This school has notable strengths, particularly in math, where its proficiency rate significantly outpaces both the district and state averages, and in its exceptional effectiveness in supporting students from low-income families, ranking in the top 15% of schools statewide for that subgroup. While its English Language Arts scores are slightly below the district average, it performs competitively with higher-spending schools in the area like Maple Grove Primary and outperforms other district peers such as Glenwood Heights Primary. Interestingly, Yacolt achieves these outcomes while spending less per student than most nearby schools.

When looking at the broader region, schools like Green Mountain School and Hockinson Heights Elementary School in other districts show higher overall rankings, but Yacolt Primary's math proficiency remains competitive. The school shows a significant performance jump in 4th grade and has maintained stable ratings over the past decade, though it faces challenges with a gender performance gap and lower rankings for its White student subgroup compared to its overall performance.
