Summary

Lake Dolloff Elementary School in Auburn serves 543 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in the Federal Way School District, near several other Federal Way schools and less than a mile from Evergreen Heights Elementary in the Auburn School District. The school serves a relatively high-need community: 81.22% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Its 2025–2026 statewide ranking was 953rd out of 1,138 elementary schools, placing it at the 16th percentile with a one-star rating.

There are encouraging signs of improvement. Lake Dolloff’s ranking rose from the 6–7% range in the previous two years to the 16th percentile in 2025–2026, and proficiency increased in English language arts, math, and science. Results were 32.48% in ELA, 27.16% in math, and 31.08% in science. Math was essentially equal to the Federal Way district rate, making it the school’s strongest subject relative to its district, while ELA showed the largest year-over-year gain. However, all three subjects remained well below Washington averages. Math performance also declined by grade, from 29.41% in third grade to 24.32% in fifth grade, suggesting that maintaining skills in the upper elementary years is an important area to watch.

Compared with nearby schools, Lake Dolloff remains toward the lower end of the group. Its ranking was below Camelot Elementary School at the 52nd percentile and Nautilus K-8 School at the 67th percentile, but slightly above Lake Grove Elementary School, Mirror Lake Elementary School, and Mark Twain Elementary School. Camelot is an especially useful local benchmark because it is nearby and in the same district, yet its proficiency rates were substantially higher. Lake Dolloff’s student-teacher ratio improved to 16.9, but remained somewhat less favorable than at many nearby schools, while its per-student spending was the lowest among the comparison schools with available data.
