Summary

Columbia Crest A-Stem Academy is a K-8 public school serving 209 students in the rural community of Ashford, WA, as part of the Eatonville School District, with a specialized focus on integrating Arts, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

The school demonstrates a clear strength in science, where student proficiency consistently exceeds both the state average and most nearby schools, including Weyerhaeuser Elementary and Eatonville Elementary School. However, performance in English Language Arts and mathematics trails behind state averages and these same district peers. Compared to schools with similar student populations, such as White Pass Elementary School and Morton Elementary School, Columbia Crest's overall state ranking is lower, and its academic results vary significantly from one grade level to the next.

Notably, the school spends more per student than other schools in its district, yet its overall academic outcomes are not as strong. It serves a population with significant economic need and shows more effective support for these students compared to many schools statewide. Parents should note the school's performance has been volatile in recent years, and while its A-STEM focus yields excellent science results, that success has not yet fully translated to other core subjects.
