Summary

Emerald Elementary School is a public K-5 school serving 440 students in Vancouver, WA, and is part of the Evergreen School District (Clark), showing steady improvement in recent years.

Academically, Emerald consistently outperforms its district averages in English, Math, and Science, with Science being a particular strength. The school has risen from a 1-star to a 2-star rating, now ranking in the 47th percentile statewide, placing it solidly in the middle compared to nearby schools. For example, it performs significantly better than Burton Elementary School but not as high as Illahee Elementary School. A key standout is its exceptional support for English Language Learners, where it ranks in the 78th percentile statewide.

Emerald has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1. However, the school faces a significant challenge in serving its Special Education students, where its ranking is much lower. Analysis shows its 4th graders excel in math, while 3rd grade is an area for growth. The school's improving trajectory coincides with a slightly declining rate of economic need among its students, and its story suggests that how resources are used can be as important as how much is spent.
