Summary

Larson Heights Elementary is a K–5 school in Moses Lake, Washington, serving 292 students in the Moses Lake School District. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 80.14% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its student-teacher ratio is 15.9:1, and spending was $19,874 per student, both relatively favorable compared with nearby schools. The district ranks around the 25th percentile statewide, but Larson Heights’ school-level results are considerably lower.

Academic performance is the most important concern. In 2025–2026, 15.97% of students were proficient in English language arts, 15.17% in math, and 15.38% in science. These results were well below district rates of 38.85%, 31.43%, and 41.52%, respectively, and below state rates as well. The school ranked 1,087th out of 1,138 schools, at approximately the 4th percentile statewide, continuing a pattern of bottom-tier rankings over several years. Fourth grade stood out as a particular challenge, with just 7.84% proficient in ELA and 9.62% in math. Results have generally weakened since 2022–2023, especially in ELA and science.

Larson Heights is also a clear outlier among nearby schools. Its current proficiency rates were lower than those at every comparison school, including schools serving similarly high-need populations. For example, North Elementary, with an 84.84% free/reduced-price lunch rate, reported 31.13% ELA, 30.46% math, and 40.82% science proficiency. Midway Elementary and Knolls Vista Elementary also ranked higher statewide. The broad weakness across student groups suggests a schoolwide challenge rather than one limited to a particular group. Families may want to ask about fourth-grade instruction, attendance and mobility, intervention services, staffing stability, and how the school uses its comparatively strong staffing and spending resources.
