of 1,138 Washington Elementary Schools

Better than 13% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Sunset Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 415 students in a Vancouver, Washington, neighborhood near several other Evergreen schools and schools in neighboring districts. The school is part of the Evergreen School District (Clark) and serves a community with substantial economic need: 55.9% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Sunset’s student-teacher ratio is 15.3:1, and its latest statewide ranking is 991st of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 13th percentile with a one-star rating.

Academic results are below both district and state averages in every reported subject. In 2025–26, 26.53% of students were proficient in English language arts, 25.00% in math, and 27.27% in science. The most urgent grade-level concern is fifth-grade math, where proficiency was 10.77%, compared with 34.41% in the district and 43.32% statewide. Fourth-grade math was a relative bright spot at 40.28%, nearly matching the district’s 41.47%. Results have improved somewhat recently: the school rose from the 6th percentile in 2024–25 to the 13th percentile in 2025–26, while ELA also rebounded. However, science has declined steadily, from 47.83% proficiency in 2022–23 to 27.27% most recently.

Sunset also trails all four nearby comparison schools in the same district—Sifton Elementary School, Image Elementary School, Orchards Elementary School, and Silver Star Elementary School—in ELA, math, and science. This is notable because Sunset’s economic-need rate is not the highest among them. Nearby Glenwood Heights Primary and Pleasant Valley Primary in the Battle Ground School District also report stronger results. Overall, the data point to broad instructional challenges, with priorities including fifth-grade math, declining science performance, foundational skills, and identifying practices behind the stronger fourth-grade math results.
