Summary

Evergreen Forest Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 442 students in Lacey, Washington, as part of the North Thurston Public Schools district, and it stands out for achieving strong academic results that exceed both district and state averages, particularly in math and science.

This performance is notable when compared to other local elementary schools with similar student demographics. For instance, while Mountain View Elementary and Lydia Hawk Elementary serve students with greater economic need and have lower proficiency rates, Evergreen Forest maintains higher scores.
