Summary

Mill Plain Elementary School is a public school in Vancouver, Washington, serving 354 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Evergreen School District (Clark). The school serves a relatively high-need community: 59.6% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Its 13.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio is one of the most favorable among nearby schools, but its 2025–2026 ranking—893rd of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, or the 22nd percentile—remains below the district’s 34th-percentile standing.

Academic results are below district and state averages in every tested subject. In 2025–2026, 33.13% of students were proficient in English language arts, 30.72% in math, and 36.21% in science. Math is the school’s strongest subject relative to the district, while ELA shows the largest gap. Results vary significantly by grade: fourth grade is a relative bright spot, with ELA proficiency slightly above the district rate and math nearly matching it. Third-grade ELA and math are major concerns, at 21.15% and 28.30%, respectively, and fifth-grade math was even lower at 22.81%. Compared with nearby schools, Crestline Elementary School and Burton Elementary School had lower overall results, while schools such as Fishers Landing Elementary School, Illahee Elementary School, and Riverview Elementary School performed substantially better.

There are some encouraging signs. Proficiency improved from the previous year in ELA, math, and science, with science making the largest gain, and the school’s statewide percentile rose from 12th to 22nd. However, results remain below 2022–2023 levels and well below the school’s mid-2010s rankings. The combination of relatively low student-teacher ratio and spending of $20,632 per student suggests that staffing levels and funding alone do not explain outcomes. Families may want to pay particular attention to early literacy, foundational math, fifth-grade math, and whether recent gains continue.
