Summary

Rocky Ridge Elementary is a K–5 school in Graham, Washington, serving approximately 430 students in the Bethel School District near several other local elementary schools.

The school’s latest ranking is 494th out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it at the 57th percentile and earning 3 out of 5 stars. That represents substantial progress: Rocky Ridge rose from the 29th percentile in 2020–2021 to its current position. Its 60.93% free- or reduced-price-lunch rate is higher than most nearby schools, including Graham Elementary, Pioneer Valley Elementary, and Nelson Elementary School. Rocky Ridge ranks below six nearby Bethel schools overall but ahead of Kapowsin Elementary, Centennial Elementary, and Shining Mountain Elementary.

Academically, math and science are the clearest strengths. Rocky Ridge’s proficiency rates are 52.04% in math and 56.41% in science, exceeding both district and state averages. Its math result is competitive with Expedition Elementary and above Elk Plain School of Choice, while its science result ranks among the strongest locally. English Language Arts is the main opportunity for improvement: the overall rate is 47.06%, with third- and fourth-grade results in the low 40s, although fifth-grade ELA reaches 56.41%. The school’s low-SES subgroup ranks at the 88th statewide percentile, and its Hispanic-student subgroup ranks at the 83rd percentile. Overall, Rocky Ridge appears to be an improving school with strong quantitative and science outcomes, favorable fifth-grade results, and a particularly important need to strengthen literacy in the middle elementary grades.
