Summary

Lake Shore Elementary is a K–5 school serving about 300 students in a Vancouver, Washington neighborhood within the Vancouver School District. Its smaller size, 15:1 student-teacher ratio, and convenient regional setting may appeal to families seeking a more intimate elementary school environment. Lake Shore ranks 489th out of 1,138 Washington schools, placing it in the 57th percentile with a three-star rating—well above the district’s 32nd-percentile standing.

Academically, Lake Shore is a strong district performer. Proficiency rates are 51.55% in English language arts, 50.93% in math, and 49.32% in science, exceeding district averages in every subject. Math is the clearest strength: Lake Shore is more than 21 percentage points above the district and also ahead of the state. Locally, however, it sits in the middle of the comparison group. Felida Elementary School, Chinook Elementary School, Benjamin Franklin Elementary, and Salmon Creek Elementary post higher results, while Lake Shore outperforms Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary, Lincoln Elementary School, and several other nearby schools. Salmon Creek is an especially useful benchmark because its lunch-program rate is similar, yet its results are notably higher.

The main concern is the school’s recent direction. Its ranking fell from the 76th–85th percentile range between 2020–21 and 2022–23 to the 57th percentile currently. Science declined from 66.67% to 49.32%, while ELA fell from 64.07% to 51.55%. Fourth grade is the weakest grade in both ELA and math, and fifth-grade science also deserves attention. Lake Shore spends $22,000 per student—more than most nearby schools—so spending alone does not explain the differences. Overall, the school offers solid district-relative performance and favorable staffing conditions, but families may want to watch whether it can rebuild its earlier achievement levels.
