Summary

Rock Island Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 288 students in the Eastmont School District, and it currently faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom quartile of Washington elementary schools.

Academically, the school performs below state and district averages, with a particularly large gap in mathematics where only about 24% of students are proficient. This performance is notably lower than nearby schools like Cascade Elementary, which shows proficiency rates over 35 points higher in math. A concerning trend is the drop in student performance between 3rd and 4th grades, suggesting a need for focused support in the upper elementary years. Despite these challenges, the school does show relative strengths, with its English Language Learner students ranking in the 64th percentile statewide, indicating some effective support strategies are in place.

The school serves a community with high economic need, though this has decreased recently, with about 73% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's per-student spending and class sizes are similar to others in the district, outcomes have not kept pace, highlighting an area for potential improvement. Within the Eastmont School District, Rock Island is the lowest-performing elementary school, creating an important focus for district support and resource allocation to ensure all students have equitable opportunities to succeed.
