Summary

South Ridge Elementary is a large K–4 school in Ridgefield, Washington, serving 758 students in the Ridgefield School District. The school is in a relatively strong district, ranked 72nd of 238 Washington districts, and South Ridge remains above the statewide midpoint, ranking in the 67th percentile among elementary schools. However, its current standing is below its earlier results, when it ranked between the 72nd and 79th percentiles in recent years and reached the 90th percentile in 2014–15 and 2015–16.

Academically, South Ridge is performing slightly above Washington in ELA and well above the state in math. In 2025–26, 53.52% of students were proficient in ELA and 56.88% in math. Math is the clearer strength: the result was 13.77 percentage points above the state and 1.13 points above the district. ELA was nearly 10 points below the district average. Both subjects have declined since 2022–23, and fourth grade trails third grade by about five points in each subject, making fourth-grade instruction an important area to watch. Compared with nearby schools, South Ridge trails Union Ridge Elementary, its most useful same-district comparison, by 17.07 points in ELA and 9.56 points in math. It also trails Salmon Creek Elementary, Chinook Elementary School, and Felida Elementary School in both subjects.

The school’s strongest subgroup effectiveness results are for male students and English Language Learners, while students receiving special education services have remained a persistent concern, ranking in the 26th percentile statewide in 2025–26. South Ridge also reports lower per-student spending—$15,424—and a higher student-teacher ratio of 16.8 than Union Ridge, which reports $18,280 and a 15.0 ratio. Its 30.61% free/reduced-price lunch rate is similar to Salmon Creek Elementary and Chinook Elementary School, yet those schools post stronger results. Overall, South Ridge is not a low-performing school: it remains above the state in both subjects and ahead of several nearby schools, but its downward trend points to priorities in ELA, fourth grade, and special education support.
