Summary

Mill Plain Elementary School is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school in Vancouver, WA, serving 354 students within the Evergreen School District (Clark), which faces challenges as it ranks in the bottom third of districts statewide.

Academic performance at Mill Plain is significantly below both state and district averages, with fewer than a third of students proficient in core subjects like English and Math, and the school's statewide ranking has declined steadily over the past decade to the 12th percentile. While the school spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than many nearby schools, these resources have not translated into stronger academic outcomes. For example, Fishers Landing Elementary School and Illahee Elementary School in the same district achieve proficiency rates nearly double Mill Plain's, despite serving student populations with lower economic need.

The data suggests the school's challenges are complex, as a recent improvement in economic indicators for students did not reverse the academic decline. Performance varies by grade and subject, with a notable drop in 5th-grade math but a past strength in science. Parents may want to inquire about targeted support for upper elementary math and how the school plans to learn from the practices of higher-performing schools with similar demographics nearby, such as Emerald Elementary School.
