Summary

Sarah J Anderson Elementary is a K–5 school in Vancouver, Washington, serving 625 students in the Vancouver School District in an area with several nearby elementary schools and a mixed-income student population. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 920th of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it at the 19th statewide percentile and earning a one-star rating. About 51.84% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, a higher rate than at nearby high-performing schools such as Felida Elementary School and Benjamin Franklin Elementary.

Academic performance is below both district and state averages in all three tested subjects. Proficiency was 31.83% in English language arts, 29.45% in math, and 39.22% in science. Math was nearly identical to the district average, while ELA and science showed larger gaps. Fourth-grade ELA was a particular weakness at 26.61%, and third-grade math was 26%, compared with 42.8% districtwide. Fifth-grade math was a relative strength, slightly exceeding the district average. Compared with nearby schools, Sarah J Anderson trailed Salmon Creek Elementary by about 29–31 percentage points across subjects and was also substantially behind Felida and Benjamin Franklin. Its results were closer to Minnehaha Elementary School, Hazel Dell Elementary School, and Sacajawea Elementary School.

The school’s results have weakened since 2022–2023: ELA fell 9.49 points, math 8.17 points, and science 12.78 points. The especially large science decline suggests that improvement needs to extend across the curriculum rather than focus on one subject. Student-group results also deserve close attention: students receiving special education services and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds ranked at approximately the 4th statewide percentile for school effectiveness, while English language learners ranked at the 12th percentile. These figures point to a need for stronger interventions, progress monitoring, and access to grade-level instruction. The slight ranking improvement from the 16th to the 19th percentile should be viewed cautiously because proficiency rates remain low across subjects.
