Summary

Jason Lee Elementary School is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 518 students in the generally well-regarded Richland School District.

The school serves a community with significant economic need, and while its overall state ranking has declined in recent years, it shows important strengths. Its science program is a standout, with proficiency rates exceeding both district and state averages and outperforming many nearby schools, including Tapteal Elementary School and William Wiley Elementary School. Furthermore, the school has been notably effective in supporting its students from low-income families, a key accomplishment given its high poverty rate compared to schools like Desert Sky Elementary and Orchard Elementary.

However, the school faces clear challenges, particularly in English and math, where scores are below the district average. A major area of concern is a sharp recent decline in performance for students in special education. When compared to other Richland School District schools with similar levels of economic need, such as Jefferson Elementary and Marcus Whitman Elementary, Jason Lee's academic results are generally in the middle of the pack, performing better than Sacajawea Elementary.
