Summary

Northlake Elementary is a public K-5 school serving about 315 students in the Longview School District, a community where many families face economic challenges, with over 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years and currently places in the lower third of all Washington elementary schools, a notable drop from the previous year. Its test scores in English, math, and science are below state averages, which is a common trend across most elementary schools in both the Longview and Kelso School District. A particular concern is a sharp drop in proficiency for 5th graders compared to stronger performance in 3rd and 4th grades, a pattern more pronounced here than at some neighboring schools like Columbia Valley Garden Elementary School.

When compared to nearby schools, Northlake operates with the lowest per-student spending among its Longview peers, despite serving a student population with considerable need. Its performance sits in a middle ground: it outperforms some higher-poverty schools like Kessler Elementary School but lags behind schools with lower poverty rates, such as Columbia Valley Garden Elementary School and Rose Valley Elementary. The school has also shown surprising volatility in year-to-year results for certain student groups, indicating areas where support systems may need strengthening.
