Summary

Walnut Grove Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 681 students in the Vancouver School District, located in a neighborhood where a majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with test scores in reading, math, and science well below state averages and a state ranking that has fallen over the past decade to the 7th percentile. However, when compared to other local schools with similar levels of student economic need, such as Peter S Ogden Elementary, Martin Luther King Elementary, and Roosevelt Elementary School, Walnut Grove's proficiency rates are notably higher, suggesting it may be more effective in supporting students from similar backgrounds. This pattern of performance is common across the Vancouver School District, where all elementary schools in this comparison rank in the bottom half of the state.

The school's performance varies considerably across different groups and grade levels; for instance, math proficiency is strongest in 3rd grade but drops sharply by 5th grade. The school also spends a moderate amount per student compared to nearby schools like Ruth Bader Ginsburg Elementary School. Performance in the broader area is mixed, with schools in the neighboring Evergreen School District (Clark), such as Marrion Elementary School and Orchards Elementary School, showing different results despite similar demographics.
