SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,138 Washington Elementary Schools

Better than 12% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Ancient Lakes Elementary is a K–5 school in Quincy, Washington, serving 385 students in the Quincy School District in a community with relatively high economic need.

The school’s overall statewide standing remains low, ranking in the 12th percentile for 2025–26, but its direction is encouraging: it has risen from the 2nd percentile in 2022–23. Within Quincy, it ranks second among the five elementary schools listed, behind Monument Elementary and ahead of Mountain View Elementary, George Elementary, and Pioneer Elementary. Its 77.4% free- or reduced-price lunch rate is similar to George and Monument, though lower than Mountain View and Pioneer. Ancient Lakes has 15.4 students per teacher and spends $18,143 per student, both middle-range figures among the Quincy schools.

Science is the clearest academic strength. In 2025–26, 36.51% of students were proficient in science, the highest result among the five Quincy schools and well above the district’s 25.35%; science proficiency has also climbed from 18.06% in 2022–23. Fifth grade is another bright spot, with the strongest ELA, math, and science results among the Quincy comparison schools. Overall math proficiency, at 19.89%, was essentially aligned with the district, while ELA, at 24.73%, trailed the district’s 32.96%. Third- and fourth-grade results—especially fourth-grade math at 12%—are the most pressing concerns. Compared with Grant Elementary and Columbia Ridge Elementary in the Ephrata School District, Ancient Lakes has lower ELA and math results, although its science performance is nearly identical to Rock Island Elementary. Overall, the school shows meaningful progress, with early-grade literacy and math remaining key priorities.
