Summary

Frank Wagner Elementary is a PK–5 school in Monroe, Washington, with 545 students, serving a community with substantially greater economic need than most nearby elementary schools. The school is part of the Monroe School District, which ranks in the 69th percentile statewide, but Frank Wagner’s own results are much weaker. In 2025–2026, the school ranked in the 17th percentile statewide, an improvement from the 6th percentile the year before, but it still remains below most schools in the area.

Academic performance is the main concern. Frank Wagner’s proficiency rates were 28.39% in English language arts, 22.88% in math, and 44.30% in science, compared with 53.20%, 43.42%, and 52.91% across the district. Math has been especially persistent as a weakness, staying near the low twenties for four consecutive years. Third grade was the lowest-performing grade in both ELA and math, with proficiency rates of 13.75% and 18.75%. ELA has improved modestly, and science rose sharply from 26.73% to 44.30%, although science results have varied considerably from year to year.

Frank Wagner also trails nearby Monroe schools by a wide margin. For example, Salem Woods Elementary School reported 70.25% ELA and 69.26% math proficiency, while Chain Lake Elementary School reported 55.56% and 54.59%, respectively. Frank Wagner’s 74.5% free- or reduced-price lunch rate is far higher than those schools’ rates and signals greater student support needs. Its 14.8:1 student-teacher ratio and relatively high per-student spending suggest that low results are not simply due to unusually large classes or low funding. The most important areas to watch are early literacy, foundational math, support for economically disadvantaged students and English learners, and whether recent gains continue.
