Summary

Tyee Park Elementary School is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 381 students in the Clover Park School District of Lakewood, WA, but it faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 7% of all Washington state elementary schools.

Academic proficiency in English and Math is well below both district and state averages, and the school has shown a concerning long-term decline in statewide ranking over the past decade. While the school serves a high-need population, with over 83% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, other nearby schools with similar demographics, like Lakeview Hope Academy, face comparable challenges, yet some, such as Carter Lake Elementary and James Sales Elementary in a neighboring district, achieve much stronger results with similar student needs.

Despite the overall struggles, there are pockets of relative strength; for instance, science scores are closer to the district average and exceed those of several nearby schools like Dower Elementary and Four Heroes Elementary. The school's per-student spending is in the mid-range for the district, indicating that resources alone do not explain the performance gap with higher-achieving peers, suggesting that specific instructional approaches and support systems may be key areas for potential improvement.
