Better than 4% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Washington Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 244 students in the Vancouver School District, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing schools in Washington state.

Academic performance at the school is significantly below both district and state averages, with only about 24% of students proficient in English and 13% proficient in Math. The school serves a community with high economic need, with 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While this level of need presents challenges, a comparison with nearby schools shows outcomes can vary; for instance, Lincoln Elementary serves a similarly high-need population but achieves significantly higher academic rankings, while Fruit Valley Elementary faces comparable struggles.

Notably, Washington Elementary receives substantial funding at over $23,000 per student, which is higher than some higher-performing schools like Benjamin Franklin Elementary, indicating that how resources are used is a critical factor. The school's performance has declined over the past decade, and it faces the added challenge of a recent increase in class size. This suggests that for improvement, the school may need to focus on instructional strategies and support systems that have proven effective in other schools within the district facing similar circumstances.
