Summary

Vicki I. Groff Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Moses Lake, Washington, serving 413 students in a competitive local group of elementary schools within the Moses Lake School District. It ranks in the middle of Washington overall, at 565th of 1,138 schools and the 50th percentile, while placing third among the nearby schools listed, behind Sage Point Elementary School and Longview Elementary.

Groff’s strongest academic features are math and science. In 2025–2026, 46.15% of students were proficient in math and 54.84% in science, exceeding district results by 14.72 and 13.32 percentage points, respectively, and also surpassing state averages in both subjects. English Language Arts proficiency was 46.7%, nearly 8 points above the district but below the state rate. Compared with local schools such as North Elementary, Park Orchard Elementary School, and Midway Elementary, Groff posted notably higher results in all three subjects. Fifth grade is a particular strength, with 62.9% proficiency in ELA and 54.84% in math and science.

The latest results show encouraging recovery after a difficult 2024–2025 year: ELA, math, and science all improved, with science rising 13.17 points. Still, the school has not fully returned to its earlier ranking levels. Key areas for improvement include third- and fourth-grade literacy, fourth-grade math, and more consistent outcomes for students from low-income families; that subgroup ranked at the 26th percentile statewide. Groff also reports a relatively high 19.2 student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than nearby comparison schools. Overall, it is a solid local performer with positive momentum, though sustained gains and broader achievement across student groups remain important next steps.
