Summary

Hough Elementary School is a public K-5 school serving 238 students in the Vancouver School District, which faces challenges as it ranks in the lower half of districts statewide.

Recent years have shown significant changes for Hough; its statewide ranking has dropped sharply from the 55th percentile to the 24th percentile in just two years, a steeper decline than seen at nearby schools like Minnehaha Elementary School or Hazel Dell Elementary School. Despite this overall trend, the school has clear strengths, including a notable focus on science where its proficiency outpaces many comparable schools, and it operates with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.7 to 1. The school also dedicates more funding per student than most others in the area.

Performance varies widely between different grade levels and student groups, indicating that classroom experiences may differ considerably. While many schools in the district are struggling, Hough's situation is unique because its higher level of resources has not prevented its recent slide. For context, other nearby schools like Benjamin Franklin Elementary and Vancouver Innovation Technology and Arts Elementary achieve higher rankings with lower per-student spending, suggesting factors beyond budget are influencing outcomes at Hough.
