Summary

Fruit Valley Elementary School is a small K–5 school in Vancouver’s Fruit Valley area, serving 188 students within the Vancouver School District. The school serves a higher-need student population, with 79.79% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Its reported student-teacher ratio is 12.3:1, the lowest among the nearby schools in this comparison. Fruit Valley ranked in the 4th percentile statewide for 2025–2026, placing it among the lowest-ranked elementary schools in Washington, although that was an improvement from the 1st percentile the previous year.

Academic results are the school’s biggest concern. In 2025–2026, 15.63% of students were proficient in English language arts, 4.21% in math, and 25% in science—below both district and state averages in every subject. Math is the clearest priority, with the lowest result among the nearby schools and a gap of 25.33 percentage points compared with the district. By comparison, Benjamin Franklin Elementary reported 61.68% ELA and 61.08% math proficiency, while Lake Shore Elementary reported 51.55% ELA and 50.93% math. Washington Elementary was the closest comparison in overall performance, with 15.53% ELA and 11.65% math proficiency.

There are some encouraging signs: science proficiency has risen steadily from 14.81% in 2022–2023 to 25% in 2025–2026, and ELA improved from the prior year. However, all-grade math proficiency declined over the same period, reaching 4.21%. Fourth- and fifth-grade math results were suppressed by the state to protect student privacy and should be considered unknown, not zero. Fruit Valley also reported the highest per-student spending in the comparison group, at $25,637, so spending and staffing levels alone do not explain the outcomes. Families may want to ask about math interventions, attendance, student mobility, staffing stability, special services, and how support is tailored to students’ needs.
