Summary

Bordeaux Elementary School is a K-4 public school in Shelton, WA, serving 528 students in a community where many families face economic challenges, yet the school is on a clear and positive upward trajectory.

What makes Bordeaux stand out is its strong and improving academic performance, especially when compared to other schools in the Shelton School District that serve similar student populations. For example, Bordeaux students are significantly more proficient in both English and Math than students at nearby Mountain View Elementary and Evergreen Elementary. The school has shown remarkable effectiveness in supporting students from low-income families and has a particularly strong special education program, ranking in the top third of schools statewide. This consistent improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star state rating in recent years, is notable within a district that faces broader academic challenges.

While schools in higher-performing neighboring districts like Olympia School District may have higher overall scores, they often serve communities with far less economic need. Bordeaux achieves its solid results—performing close to the state average in core subjects—with moderate resources, suggesting efficient and effective teaching and leadership. Parents should note that while the school excels in many areas, there is a noticeable drop in 4th-grade math scores that indicates a specific challenge to address. Overall, Bordeaux Elementary is a school that is successfully helping its students achieve and grow.
