Summary

Stewart Elementary is a public elementary school serving about 343 students from Pre-K through 6th grade in the Puyallup School District, currently rated in the lower-middle tier of Washington schools with a recent history of fluctuating performance.

The school has notable strengths, including a low student-teacher ratio and exceptional academic performance for its Hispanic students, ranking in the state's top quartile for that subgroup. However, overall academic proficiency in English, Math, and Science is below the district average, with a particularly steep decline in Math scores in the upper grades. Compared to nearby schools with similar student demographics, such as Wildwood Elementary and Spinning Elementary, Stewart's academic results are lower despite receiving very high per-student funding, raising questions about how effectively its resources are being used.

Recent trends show some improvement, and the school's performance for male students has increased significantly over the past two years. The Puyallup School District itself shows wide performance variations between schools, with top performers like Fruitland Elementary and Shaw Road Elementary achieving much higher rankings with lower per-student spending, suggesting school-specific practices are a major factor in student outcomes.
