Summary
Lake Roosevelt Elementary is a public school in Coulee Dam, Washington, serving about 354 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade as part of the small, rural Grand Coulee Dam School District. The district ranks in the 4th statewide percentile, while the school ranks in the 11th percentile for 2025–26—an improvement over its 6th-percentile results in the previous two years, though it remains among the lower-ranked elementary schools in Washington.
Academic performance is below state averages, but the school generally performs somewhat better than its district in math and science. In 2025–26, 23.21% of students were proficient in English language arts, 22.16% in math, and 30.77% in science. Math was about 4 percentage points above the district, and science was about 2 points higher. Math has shown the clearest recent progress, reaching its highest level in the past four reported years, while science also improved modestly. Sixth grade was the strongest current grade in both ELA and math, whereas fifth-grade math, at 15.38%, was a particular area of concern. The school serves a relatively high-need population, with 75.14% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. At the same time, the student-teacher ratio improved from 17.5 to 15.0, and per-student spending increased through 2023–24.
Nearby schools show a wide range of outcomes. Wilbur Elementary School, about 19.5 miles away, ranks in the 37th percentile and outperformed Lake Roosevelt in all three tested subjects, especially science and math. Almira Elementary School, about 18.3 miles away, ranks in the 68th percentile and had much higher 2025–26 proficiency in ELA and math. However, both schools have lower reported lunch-assistance rates and smaller student-teacher ratios, so comparisons should consider differences in student needs, enrollment, and grade spans. Results for nearby Keller Elementary School and Nespelem Elementary are often suppressed because of small enrollments.
