Summary

Evergreen Elementary is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving 336 students in Lakebay, Washington, as part of the highly-rated Peninsula School District.

Academically, the school performs near the state average, but consistently below the average for its own high-performing district. A key finding is that Evergreen is particularly effective with certain student groups, ranking exceptionally high statewide for its Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students. However, the school shows a notable decline in math scores in the upper elementary grades, and a persistent performance gap exists where female students outperform male students. Its statewide ranking has also fluctuated more than many nearby schools over the past decade.

Evergreen serves a student population with greater economic needs than most other schools in the Peninsula School District. For comparison, while Harbor Heights Elementary School and Voyager Elementary serve more affluent communities and achieve higher test scores, Minter Creek Elementary has a similar demographic profile and performs comparably. Evergreen spends more per student than most district peers, though this higher spending does not correlate with superior academic outcomes when compared to schools like Voyager Elementary.
