of 1,160 Washington Elementary Schools

Better than 2% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Larson Heights Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 292 students in the Moses Lake School District, and it has been consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Washington state for the past decade.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are roughly half the district and state averages. For example, only about 22% of students are proficient in English and 16% in math, compared to nearly 62% and 60% respectively at the higher-performing Sage Point Elementary in the same district. This is notable because Larson Heights actually spends more per student than several nearby schools and has smaller class sizes, yet these resource advantages have not translated into better student outcomes. The school serves a high-need population, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, a factor shared by the nearby North Elementary, which achieves somewhat better results.

This long-term pattern suggests deep-rooted challenges that go beyond demographics or funding alone. While other schools in the Moses Lake School District like Vicki I. Groff Elementary and Park Orchard Elementary show a wide range of performance, Larson Heights has remained at the very bottom, indicating a need for specific, school-level changes in instruction or support systems to help students succeed.
