Summary

Evergreen Primary is a public school in University Place, Washington, serving 516 students in prekindergarten through fourth grade within the highly rated University Place School District. The school ranks in the 78th percentile statewide, placing it among Washington’s stronger elementary schools, although it ranks below the overall district, which is at the 95th percentile. Evergreen’s recent ranking also shows recovery after a dip in 2023–2024, when it fell to the 61st percentile; it returned to the 78th percentile in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026.

Academically, Evergreen performs well compared with Washington overall. In 2025–2026, 59.91% of students met standards in English Language Arts and 62.74% in math, compared with 52.81% and 43.11% statewide. Math is the school’s more consistent strength, while literacy—especially third-grade ELA at 57.58%—is the clearest area for improvement. Evergreen trails the three nearby schools in the same district with current results: University Place Primary, Chambers Elementary, and Sunset Primary. Its fourth-grade results are more competitive, particularly in math, and its overall results are considerably higher than those at nearby schools in Tacoma and Clover Park.

One of Evergreen’s biggest strengths is subgroup effectiveness. The school ranks at the 97th percentile for English Language Learners and Hispanic students, and at the 98th percentile for multi-racial students. Its low-socioeconomic-status, male, female, and White student groups also rank above average. Special education is the main concern: that group ranks at the 46th percentile, an improvement from the 24th percentile in 2023–2024 but still much weaker than the school’s other subgroup results. Evergreen also spends less per student than its three nearby district peers while maintaining above-state performance. Overall, it is a strong statewide school with particular opportunities to strengthen early literacy, third-grade math, and special education support.
