Summary

Mattawa Elementary is a public elementary school serving 355 students in grades K-5 in the Wahluke School District in Mattawa, Washington. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 97% Hispanic and over 94% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage.

Academically, Mattawa Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in Washington state, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science that are significantly lower than the state and district averages. Despite spending significantly more per student ($21,275 in 2021-2022) compared to the state average, the school has not seen improved academic outcomes. The two other elementary schools in the Wahluke School District, Morris Schott Elementary and Saddle Mountain Elementary, also perform poorly compared to the state average, suggesting systemic issues within the district.

Mattawa Elementary's low student-teacher ratio of 13.7 in 2022-2023 could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students, but the school's persistent low performance and the significant racial and socioeconomic disparities among its student population indicate that a comprehensive and targeted approach will be needed to improve educational outcomes for the students.
