Summary

Hallett Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Medical Lake, Washington, serving 496 students in a community near Spokane and Cheney as part of the relatively strong Medical Lake School District.

Hallett’s current results are mixed. The school ranks in the 49th statewide percentile and has a two-star rating, while the district ranks in the 76th percentile statewide. Science is the clearest strength: 60.27% of students were proficient in 2025–26, about 9 percentage points above Washington’s rate. By comparison, 47.13% were proficient in English language arts and 42.62% in math. ELA and math have declined notably since 2023–24, especially math, which fell by approximately 10 percentage points in one year. Fifth grade is a bright spot, with stronger ELA and math results than the earlier tested grades and results slightly above statewide averages. Third- and fourth-grade ELA and math, particularly third-grade ELA, are the main areas to watch.

Among nearby schools, Hallett generally falls in the middle. Its same-district comparison, Michael Anderson Elementary School, ranks higher and outperforms Hallett in all three subjects, while Wilson Elementary is a high-performing outlier with substantially higher achievement. Hallett is broadly competitive with Windsor Elementary, Betz Elementary, and Phil Snowdon Elementary, and performs better than schools such as Holmes Elementary and Sunset Elementary. About half of Hallett’s students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and its 16.8 student-teacher ratio is higher than at several comparisons. Overall, parents may see Hallett as a mid-performing school with durable science strength, encouraging fifth-grade results, and a need for renewed focus on ELA and math.
