Summary

Lake Dolloff Elementary School is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving 543 students in Auburn, Washington, as part of the Federal Way School District, which is a low-performing district overall.

The school is currently ranked in the bottom 10% of Washington elementary schools, with student proficiency in English, Math, and Science being less than half the state average. While it serves a high-need population, its academic performance is lower than most nearby schools with similar student demographics. A particularly striking comparison is with Camelot Elementary, located just half a mile away in the same district, which spends significantly more per student and has proficiency rates nearly double those of Lake Dolloff.

Historical data shows the school has been capable of better performance in the recent past, suggesting recent challenges may be addressed. The school's low per-student spending compared to peers in the Federal Way School District is a notable difference. Furthermore, the nearby Evergreen Heights Elementary in the neighboring Auburn School District performs much better, highlighting how district boundaries can create very different educational outcomes in the same community.
