Summary

Orchards Elementary School is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving 433 students in Vancouver, WA, as part of the Evergreen School District (Clark).

Academic performance at Orchards is significantly below state and district averages, with the school consistently ranking among the lowest in Washington over the past decade. Proficiency rates in English, Math, and Science are low, and there is a particularly sharp decline in Math scores between 3rd and 5th grade. This is happening despite the school having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and the highest per-student spending among listed schools in its district, which raises questions about how resources are being used to support learning.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Endeavour Elementary School and York Elementary School, Orchards lags far behind in overall ranking and proficiency. While other local schools like Sunset Elementary School also rank low, Orchards' performance for certain student subgroups is among the very weakest in the state. The school's science scores have also been highly inconsistent from year to year, unlike the more stable performance seen at neighboring schools.
