Summary

Cape Horn Skye Elementary is a rural-area K–5 school west of Washougal River Road, serving 284 students in the Washougal School District. The school has a 17.6 student-teacher ratio, and 34.15% of students received free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Washougal ranks at the 66th percentile statewide among Washington districts, but Cape Horn Skye’s latest school ranking is at the 35th percentile, or 742nd out of 1,138 schools. It is currently the lowest-ranked of the district’s four elementary schools.

Academic results are mixed but generally below district and state averages. In 2025–26, 38.13% of students were proficient in English language arts, compared with 50.04% districtwide and 52.81% statewide. Math was closer to average at 41.84%, compared with 44.17% in the district and 43.11% statewide. Science was a major concern: 44.19% were proficient, versus 58.74% in Washougal. Fifth grade stands out as the greatest area of risk, with 37.50% proficiency in ELA, 23.81% in math, and 44.19% in science. Third-grade math was a bright spot at 54.55%, exceeding both district and state results.

The school’s current performance follows a substantial long-term decline: its ranking was at the 84th percentile in 2015–16 and 66th percentile as recently as 2022–23, before falling to the 35th percentile today. Compared with nearby district schools, Hathaway Elementary, Gause Elementary, and Columbia River Gorge Elementary School all rank higher overall, while Cape Horn Skye has the highest student-teacher ratio and lowest reported per-student spending among them. The most important issues for families to monitor are the ELA decline, the sharp science drop, fifth-grade math, and what changed after the school’s stronger earlier years.
