Better than 24% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Cosmopolis Elementary School is a public K-6 school serving about 175 students in the Cosmopolis School District, which faces academic challenges across the region.

The school's overall state ranking has dropped significantly over the past five years, now placing it in the lower quarter of Washington elementary schools. This decline coincides with a sharp increase in the student-teacher ratio and comes despite the school spending more per student than many neighboring districts. Performance varies greatly by grade level and subject, with fifth-grade science being a notable strength where students perform close to the state average, while English and math scores are much lower.

Interesting comparisons with nearby schools reveal complex dynamics. For instance, Simpson Avenue Elementary in the higher-performing Montesano School District achieves much higher test scores with similar class sizes and lower spending. Cosmopolis Elementary shows a history of strong results for students from low-income families, even as its overall rank has fallen. This pattern differs from some schools in the Aberdeen School District and Hoquiam School District, where high poverty levels often correlate with low performance, suggesting district policies and practices are key factors.
