Summary

Ancient Lakes Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 385 students in the Quincy School District, an area where schools face significant academic challenges across the board.

Within its own district, Ancient Lakes shows some relative strengths, performing around or slightly above the Quincy average in core subjects and ranking as the top school in the district for science. It shows a pattern of modest improvement in English and math over recent years. However, when compared to elementary schools in neighboring districts like Ephrata or Eastmont, such as Columbia Ridge Elementary or Rock Island Elementary, the academic performance at Ancient Lakes is considerably lower, highlighting a wider regional disparity.

An interesting finding is that the school achieves these mid-level results within Quincy while spending less per student and having a higher student-teacher ratio than some district peers like George Elementary or Pioneer Elementary. Parents should note that performance varies by grade, with fifth grade showing strength in English but a notable drop in math. The school's trajectory has been uneven, and it, along with all schools in the Quincy School District, is working to improve from a very low statewide ranking.
