Summary

North Elementary is a relatively small K–5 school in Moses Lake, WA, serving 277 students at 1200 West Craig Street in the Moses Lake School District. The school serves a high-need community: 84.84% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, the highest share among the nearby schools reviewed. North’s student–teacher ratio was 19.1, and its per-student spending was $19,809.

Academically, North ranked in the 20th percentile statewide in 2025–26, placing 908th of 1,138 Washington elementary schools and earning a one-star rating. Proficiency was 31.13% in English language arts, 30.46% in math, and 40.82% in science. Math and science were close to district averages, but ELA was 7.72 percentage points below the district and nearly 22 points below the state. Fourth grade was the clearest concern, with 23.33% proficiency in ELA and 28.33% in math. The school did improve from the previous year: ELA rose 5.65 points, math 3.07 points, and science 6.73 points, although all three subjects remained below 2023–24 results.

North ranked ninth among 11 nearby schools, ahead of Knolls Vista Elementary and Larson Heights Elementary. Its math results also exceeded those at Midway Elementary and Park Orchard Elementary School. Stronger local comparisons include Sage Point Elementary School, Longview Elementary, and Vicki I. Groff Elementary School. Overall, the clearest priorities are improving ELA—especially fourth grade—sustaining the recent recovery, and examining why relatively high spending has not yet produced stronger outcomes.
