Summary

Northlake Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Longview, Washington, serving 315 students at 2210 Olympia Way in an area with several nearby elementary schools, including Columbia Heights Elementary and Columbia Valley Garden Elementary School. Northlake is part of the Longview School District, which ranks at the 35th percentile statewide, while Northlake ranks at the 28th percentile among Washington elementary schools. Its 73.65% free- or reduced-price lunch rate indicates a relatively high-need student population, and its 14.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio is one of the most favorable among nearby schools.

Northlake is a middle-performing school compared with surrounding elementary schools. It ranks below Columbia Valley Garden, Columbia Heights, and Rose Valley Elementary, but performs better overall than Olympic Elementary School, Kessler Elementary School, and Saint Helens Elementary. Its results are close to those of Mint Valley Elementary, Barnes Elementary, and Wallace Elementary. The strongest nearby schools have a clear advantage: Columbia Valley Garden ranks 342 places ahead of Northlake, while Columbia Heights ranks 221 places ahead.

Math is Northlake’s relative strength, with 36.84% proficiency—1.74 percentage points above the district, though below the state’s 43.11%. Fourth-grade math was especially encouraging at 49.06%, but fifth-grade math fell to 20.00%, making it a key concern. ELA proficiency was 38.16%, below both the district and state, while science was weaker at 31.11%, substantially below district and statewide results. Northlake has improved significantly from its very low statewide rankings in the mid-2010s, but recent results have fluctuated. The clearest priorities are fifth-grade math, science instruction, and continued support for economically disadvantaged students while maintaining the school’s favorable staffing conditions.
