Summary

Vicki I. Groff Elementary School is a public K-5 school serving 413 students in the Moses Lake School District, a district that ranks in the lower quarter of all districts in Washington state.

Groff is currently a mid-tier performer within its district, with its math scores notably outpacing the district average and nearly matching the state average. However, the school is on a concerning downward trend, having dropped from a 3-star to a 2-star rating this year, with significant declines in how effectively it serves students from low-income families and female students. While the school operates with the lowest per-student spending among comparable local schools, suggesting efficiency, it also has one of the highest student-teacher ratios. Performance varies widely by grade, with strong 4th-grade math but weaker 5th-grade math and 3rd-grade English scores.

When compared to nearby schools, Sage Point Elementary School stands out as a top performer in the area, while most others, like Larson Heights Elementary and North Elementary, rank lower. Groff's main challenges are reversing its recent declines in performance and effectiveness while managing resources within a struggling district context.
