Summary

Camelot Elementary School is a public PK-5 school serving 292 students in Auburn, Washington, as part of the Federal Way School District, and it has shown remarkable, steady improvement in recent years.

The school stands out for its exceptional support for English Language Learners, who perform very well, and for consistently outperforming the district average in all core subjects, especially math. With smaller class sizes and higher per-student funding than many nearby schools, Camelot has built a strong program. It also shows particular strength in supporting its Hispanic students. This progress is notable when compared to other schools in the same district with similar student populations, such as Mark Twain Elementary School, Mirror Lake Elementary School, and Lake Dolloff Elementary School, which have significantly lower academic rankings.

While showing overall growth, the school faces specific challenges, including a notable performance gap between male and female students and a drop in math scores in the upper grades. An interesting comparison is with Evergreen Heights Elementary in the neighboring Auburn School District, which has a higher overall ranking and stronger math scores, highlighting how district context can influence school performance. Camelot's story is one of effective turnaround and strategic resource use within its community.

Great school. Great teachers. Too many kids/teacher ratio. Close Quote

I love this school! My son is in the Special Educational program here and I couldn't be happier! I love his teachers, I love the office staff, I can't really say enough about how happy this school makes me. I really like how the bus drivers do not let the kids off the buses till teachers meet them at the curb. There is always an Auburn school district safety patrol officer out in the parking lot, too. I know my son is safe here. The teachers really care! My son's teacher always comes out to my car when I am picking up my son and tells me how his day went. Talk about class A treatment! The communication with parents is outstanding! It is not all about the bottom line here, but about the child as a whole. The school is designed not to negatively reprimand the students, but they use positive reinforcement to get the results they want. They truly go the extra mile here. My son has never been happier. He loves his school and wants to go every day. Schools like this are a rarity! I highly recommend this school. Close Quote
