Summary

Sarah J Anderson Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 625 students in the Vancouver School District, which faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom quartile of Washington elementary schools with a 1-star rating.

The school's academic performance is notably lower than many nearby schools, with only about one-third of students proficient in English and Math, compared to over 60% proficiency at schools like Felida Elementary and Benjamin Franklin Elementary. This gap exists alongside a higher level of economic need, as over half of Sarah J Anderson's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a rate much higher than at these higher-performing neighboring schools. The school's statewide ranking has also declined considerably over the past decade.

Interestingly, some schools with similar levels of student need, such as Hazel Dell Elementary, show comparable academic challenges, while others like Dwight D Eisenhower Elementary perform better. The school receives less funding per student than several others in the district, including those with less economic need. The data suggests the school has found more success in improving English scores as students advance grades than in Math, and that post-pandemic recovery has been particularly difficult here compared to other schools in the area.
