Summary

Mccleary Elementary is a public PK-8 school serving 332 students in the McCleary School District, a district performing in the middle range statewide.

The school shows distinct strengths, particularly in science where student proficiency exceeds the state average, and in its effective support for students from lower-income families and those in special education, ranking well above average in these areas. With a per-student spending of $20,692, which is higher than nearby schools like Black Lake Elementary and Elma Elementary School, the school invests significantly in its programs. However, overall academic performance in English and math is currently below state averages, and the school's statewide ranking has varied over the years.

When compared to neighbors, Mccleary Elementary performs better than schools in higher-poverty districts like the Shelton School District, but lags behind higher-performing schools with similar grade spans, such as Griffin School. Its unique PK-8 structure allows for educational continuity, and performance data shows students often make strong gains by 8th grade after a dip in middle grades, presenting a key area for the school to address.
