Summary

Frank Wagner Elementary is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving 545 students in the Monroe School District, which performs near the state average, but the school itself has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of all Washington elementary schools for the past decade.

The school's academic proficiency rates are significantly below district and state averages, with about one-quarter of students proficient in English, Math, and Science. This performance stands in stark contrast to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Salem Woods Elementary (top 10% statewide) and Maltby Elementary (top 30%), which are only a few miles away. Frank Wagner serves a student population with a much higher rate of economic need, with about 75% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch compared to 25-30% at those higher-performing neighboring schools.

Despite spending more per student than some higher-performing schools, Frank Wagner's outcomes have shown minimal improvement over time. The data highlights a significant performance gap within the Monroe district and suggests that families in the area have access to several higher-rated alternatives nearby, including Totem Falls in the Snohomish School District and Cherry Valley Elementary School in the Riverview School District.
