Summary

Maplewood Elementary is a PK–6 school in Puyallup, Washington, serving 371 students in a residential area within the relatively strong Puyallup School District. The district ranks 71st of 238 Washington districts, while Maplewood ranks 293rd of 1,138 elementary schools statewide, placing it in the 74th percentile and earning four stars. Maplewood’s 16.6:1 student-teacher ratio and 37.2% free/reduced-price lunch rate provide useful context for its performance.

Maplewood is currently performing above district and state averages in every reported subject. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 61.69% in ELA, 51.98% in math, and 65.31% in science. Science is a particular strength, exceeding the district by 11.17 points, while ELA has improved the most over time. The school’s ranking rose from the 50th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 74th percentile in 2025–2026, and ELA proficiency increased by 17.31 points during that period. Upper-grade reading results stand out: fourth-grade ELA reached 64.86%, and sixth-grade ELA reached 68.52%, both well above district averages. Maplewood’s 84th-percentile effectiveness ranking for low-income students is another notable strength.

The clearest improvement opportunity is math, especially fifth grade, where proficiency was 46.94%. Maplewood remains above state and district averages overall but trails nearby academic leaders such as Shaw Road Elementary and Spinning Elementary in overall math. It is nearly equal to Spinning in ELA and science and is close to Fruitland Elementary and Woodland Elementary in statewide ranking. Overall, Maplewood is a strong, improving school with balanced academic results, especially strong science and upper-grade ELA, and room to narrow the local math gap.
