Summary

Knolls Vista Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 282 students in the Moses Lake School District, a district that faces significant academic challenges across most of its elementary schools.

Academically, Knolls Vista is a middle-performing school within its district. Its test scores in English, math, and science are below the state average but are notably higher than the lowest-performing schools like Larson Heights Elementary and North Elementary. However, it trails far behind the district's top school, Sage Point Elementary School, which has proficiency rates over 20 points higher. The school serves a student population with high economic need, with about 74% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than several nearby schools including Garden Heights Elementary and Vicki I. Groff Elementary School.

Some interesting patterns emerge at Knolls Vista: it has the highest per-student spending among the listed schools but achieves middle-tier results, and it shows an unusual grade-level pattern where 4th grade reading scores are much lower than 3rd and 5th grade. The school has shown a positive trend, improving from a very low state ranking a few years ago to a more moderate one. Its science scores are also a relative strength compared to math. The performance gap between boys and girls at the school is notable, with boys currently outperforming girls in English Language Arts, which is an atypical pattern.
