Summary

Fruitland Elementary is a K–6 school in Puyallup, Washington, serving 566 students in the Puyallup School District. The school is in a relatively established suburban area and has a strong overall academic profile, ranking 290th out of 1,138 Washington schools for 2025–26, in the 75th percentile, with a four-star rating. The district ranks 71st out of 238 statewide, placing it in the 70th percentile.

Fruitland performs above both district and state averages in English language arts, math, and science. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 58.17% in ELA, 57.31% in math, and 61.90% in science. Math is the clearest strength: Fruitland’s rate was more than 13 percentage points above the district and more than 14 points above the state. Third-grade math was especially strong at 72.94%, while sixth-grade ELA reached 68.97%. Compared with nearby schools, Spinning Elementary ranked higher overall and led Fruitland in all three subjects, but Fruitland ranked ahead of most other local schools, including Maplewood Elementary and Woodland Elementary.

For families comparing school conditions, Fruitland’s 29.68% free/reduced-price lunch rate is lower than that of most nearby schools, while its 18.1 student-teacher ratio is relatively high. Reported spending was $16,777 per student, lower than nearly all nearby comparison schools. Parents may want to watch the recent decline in statewide percentile ranking from the 80s to 75th percentile, along with drops in ELA and especially science proficiency. Sixth-grade math, at 45.98%, is another area to monitor, as is the recent special education subgroup ranking. Overall, Fruitland remains one of the stronger elementary schools in the Puyallup area, with particularly notable math results.
