Summary

North Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 277 students within the Moses Lake School District, which faces significant academic challenges across the region.

The school is currently ranked in the bottom 15% of elementary schools in Washington, with student proficiency in English, math, and science falling well below both district and state averages. This performance has been volatile, dropping sharply in recent years. Notably, the school serves a community with a high level of economic need, with approximately 85% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite having the highest per-student spending among nearby schools at nearly $20,000, North Elementary has a higher student-to-teacher ratio (19-to-1) than several other schools in the district and has not seen corresponding academic results.

Interesting comparisons exist with other local schools. For instance, Larson Heights Elementary, less than half a mile away, performs even lower, ranking in the bottom 2% of the state. In contrast, higher-performing schools like Sage Point Elementary achieve much stronger results with similar or lower spending per student. The data shows that performance can vary widely even among schools in the same district serving similar student populations, suggesting that school-level programs and leadership play a critical role.
