Summary

Kendall Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 317 students in Maple Falls, Washington, as part of the Mount Baker School District, and it faces significant academic challenges while serving a community with high economic need.

The school is currently ranked in the bottom quartile of elementary schools in Washington, with student proficiency in English and Math well below state averages. However, it shows a notable strength in Science, where its students perform close to the state average and even exceed the district average. Compared to nearby schools like Harmony Elementary and Acme Elementary in the same district, Kendall has a much higher percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and lower academic performance overall.

Despite having a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than several higher-performing neighboring schools such as Isom Elementary and Fisher Elementary, academic outcomes have lagged. The school's performance varies considerably across different grade levels and student groups, and while it has shown modest improvement from very low rankings in recent years, it continues to work on strategies to better support all learners.
