Summary

Morris Schott Elementary is a public school in Mattawa, WA, serving about 317 students in grades 4 and 5 within the Wahluke School District, a community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 2-3% of Washington elementary schools. However, within its own district, it shows a stronger performance than its feeder schools; for example, it outperforms Saddle Mountain Elementary (grades 1-3) in both English and Math. A notable bright spot is science, where proficiency is higher than in other core subjects. The school spends more per student than the state average and nearby schools, but these resources have not yet led to higher overall test scores. There has also been a concerning decline in recent years in how effectively the school serves English Language Learners and migrant students.

When compared to a school in a neighboring district with lower poverty, such as Red Rock Elementary in the Royal School District, a large achievement gap is evident, highlighting how community socioeconomic factors can influence school outcomes. While Morris Schott is on a positive trajectory compared to Mattawa Elementary within its district, it continues to work on turning its higher level of funding into improved academic results for all students.
