Summary

Four Heroes Elementary is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school in Lakewood, WA, serving 541 students within the Clover Park School District, an area where many schools face academic challenges.

The school's overall test scores are below state averages, particularly in science, but it shows a clear and consistent trend of improvement in its statewide ranking over the past several years. An interesting strength is its performance with certain groups of students; for example, its Hispanic students and English Language Learners score higher relative to their peers across the state than the school's overall ranking would suggest. While the school spends less per student than some nearby schools like Custer Elementary, it maintains a lower student-to-teacher ratio, which can allow for more individual attention.

Comparisons with nearby schools reveal important context. Most elementary schools in the Clover Park School District and neighboring Tacoma School District rank below average, indicating broader regional factors. However, the standout success of Custer Elementary, which serves a similar community and achieves much higher scores—especially in science—demonstrates that strong outcomes are possible and suggests specific instructional strategies can make a significant difference.
