Summary

Robert Gray Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 415 students in the Longview School District, and it stands out as a school showing strong, positive improvement in recent years.

The most compelling story here is the school's upward trend. After a period of lower rankings, Robert Gray has climbed to perform right at the state average, a significant rebound that sets it apart from many neighboring Longview schools like Kessler Elementary School, Olympic Elementary School, and Saint Helens Elementary, which rank in the bottom third of the state. It consistently outperforms the district average in English and Math, and its effectiveness in serving Special Education students is exceptional, ranking in the top 20% of Washington elementary schools—a dramatic and standout strength.

While Columbia Valley Garden Elementary School within the district and schools like Lexington Elementary in the neighboring Kelso School District have higher overall rankings, Robert Gray achieves its improving results with relatively efficient use of resources. A point of focus is ensuring strong early-grade performance continues into the upper grades, as 5th-grade math scores are currently an area for growth. Overall, Robert Gray is a stable and increasingly competitive choice known for its effective support for diverse learners and clear positive momentum.
