Summary

Union Ridge Elementary is a highly-regarded public school serving approximately 708 students in kindergarten through 4th grade in the growing community of Ridgefield, Washington, as part of the Ridgefield School District.

The school is a consistent academic leader, earning 4-star ratings for seven straight years with test scores significantly above state and district averages. It notably outperforms other schools in the area, including its district sibling South Ridge Elementary, and rivals like Felida Elementary and Salmon Creek Elementary. Union Ridge achieves this with a favorable student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than many neighboring schools, though some, like Columbia Elementary, spend more with lower results.

A standout strength is the school's extraordinary success with students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the top 2% of schools statewide for this group. This effective support, combined with a strong record of sustained improvement over the past decade, makes Union Ridge a model of high performance. The primary area identified for growth is in services for Special Education students, where achievement lags behind the school's otherwise exceptional performance across all other metrics.
