SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,138 Washington Elementary Schools

Better than 19% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Orchards Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 433 students in Vancouver, Washington, in the Evergreen School District, near several other Evergreen and Vancouver School District elementary schools. Its current statewide standing is 925th of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 19th percentile with a one-star rating. That result is still below the state midpoint, but it marks a meaningful improvement from the 5th–6th percentile range reported from 2021–2022 through 2024–2025. The school’s free/reduced-price lunch rate was 59.58% in 2024–2025, indicating a somewhat higher-need population than some nearby schools, though not the highest in the area.

Academically, Orchards remains below the Evergreen School District (Clark) and Washington averages in English language arts and math. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 31.41% in ELA, 27.75% in math, and 42.86% in science. Science was a relative strength, exceeding the district average and improving by 22.86 percentage points from the prior year. ELA and math also improved, but fifth-grade math is a major concern: only 14.29% of fifth graders were proficient, compared with 37.68% in third grade and 30.51% in fourth grade. Orchards currently ranks ahead of nearby Sunset Elementary School, Walnut Grove Elementary, and Ogden Elementary, but trails York Elementary School, Endeavour Elementary School, and Burnt Bridge Creek Elementary School.

The school has several encouraging features. Its English language learner subgroup ranked at the 56th percentile statewide, substantially above the school’s overall standing, suggesting effective support for multilingual students. Orchards also reported a 13.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio, the lowest among the nearby schools reviewed, and $21,461 in per-student spending, second only to Silver Star Elementary School. However, resources have not yet translated into results matching stronger nearby schools such as York Elementary School or Endeavour Elementary School. Key questions for families include how the school is addressing fifth-grade math, strengthening ELA and math overall, supporting special education students, and extending successful English learner practices across the school.
