Summary

McLane Elementary School is a public PK–5 school in Olympia, Washington, serving 407 students in an area about 1.7 to 4.5 miles from the nearby comparison schools.

McLane is part of the relatively strong Olympia School District, which ranks in the 82nd percentile statewide, but the school’s own results are considerably weaker: McLane ranks in the 39th percentile statewide and has a two-star rating for 2025–2026. Its proficiency rates were 48.78% in English Language Arts, 38.42% in math, and 38.81% in science—below both district and state averages in every subject. Science is the clearest concern, falling from 55.56% the previous year and ranking below every nearby comparison school, including 46.30% at Leland P Brown Elementary and 77.05% at Roosevelt Elementary School. Math is also weak, particularly in fifth grade, where proficiency was 29.85%.

The picture is mixed rather than uniformly low. McLane’s fifth-grade ELA result, 53.73%, was close to the Washington average, and the school’s overall ranking improved from the 32nd percentile in 2023–2024. However, its current standing remains below most nearby schools, such as Griffin School, Julia Butler Hansen Elementary, and Lincoln Elementary School. The student-teacher ratio is a midrange 15.7-to-1, and spending was $17,786 per student, so class size and spending alone do not explain the performance gap. Important priorities include rebuilding science achievement, strengthening fourth- and fifth-grade math, and improving outcomes for economically disadvantaged students; that subgroup ranked in the 30th percentile in the latest data.
