Summary

Forks Elementary School is a public K-4 school serving 368 students in the remote town of Forks, Washington, as part of the Quillayute Valley School District.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with its performance ranking in the bottom quarter of Washington elementary schools and proficiency rates in English and Math below state averages. It's important to note the school operates in a high-need context, with over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school shows a relative strength in math, where its scores are notably higher than the district average, and it maintains a low student-teacher ratio with per-student spending well above the national average.

Key areas for parents to consider include a noticeable drop in student proficiency between 3rd and 4th grade in both core subjects, suggesting a potential hurdle with the increased expectations at that level. While there are no other schools within 20 miles for direct comparison, the school's performance has declined over the past decade even as resources have remained strong, indicating a complex situation. The data suggests the school could build on its effective math strategies and its support for economically disadvantaged students to improve outcomes across all areas.
