Summary

Yacolt Primary is a PK–4 school serving 747 students in the Yacolt community of southwest Washington and is part of the Battle Ground School District. The school ranks 403rd out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 65th percentile and marking an improvement from the 56th percentile the previous year.

The school’s clearest strength is mathematics. In 2025–26, 61.87% of tested students met the math standard, compared with 42.34% in the district and 43.11% statewide. Yacolt also had stronger math results than nearby Tukes Valley Primary, Maple Grove Primary, Glenwood Heights Primary, Daybreak Primary, and Captain Strong. English language arts was more mixed: 46.40% met the standard, the highest among those Battle Ground-area schools but below the state’s 52.81%. ELA results have declined from 50.60% in 2023–24, while math improved substantially to its latest level.

For families, another encouraging sign is Yacolt’s effectiveness for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, whose subgroup ranked in the 89th percentile statewide; about 40.16% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. The main area needing attention is special education, where the subgroup ranked in the 11th percentile. The school also had a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 17.7 to 1 compared with nearby schools, including Hockinson Heights Elementary School and La Center Elementary, which have higher overall statewide rankings. Overall, Yacolt appears to be an improving school with an unusual math advantage, solid local standing, and important opportunities to strengthen literacy and services for students receiving special education.
