Summary

Hathaway Elementary is a relatively small public K–5 school in Washougal, Washington, serving 272 students in the Washougal School District. Its latest statewide ranking places it at the 52nd percentile, or 541st among 1,138 Washington elementary schools. Although this is a middle-of-the-pack statewide result, Hathaway had the strongest 2025–26 proficiency results among the four Washougal elementary schools included in the comparison, leading in English language arts (ELA), math, and science.

Science is Hathaway’s clearest academic strength: 58.97% of students were proficient, compared with 50.95% statewide. Math was also a relative strength at 46.56%, above both the district’s 44.17% and the state’s 43.11%. ELA was weaker at 47.73%, below the district’s 50.04% and the state’s 52.81%. Grade-level results show especially strong fifth-grade performance, including 66.67% proficiency in ELA and 48.72% in math. In contrast, third-grade ELA proficiency was 36.96% and fourth-grade ELA proficiency was 42.55%, suggesting that earlier-grade literacy is an important improvement area. Results have also fluctuated: science and ELA declined in the latest year, while math improved modestly after a difficult 2024–25.

Compared with nearby schools in the Camas School District, Hathaway has substantially lower proficiency rates. Camas schools generally report about 67%–76% proficiency in ELA, 64%–78% in math, and 72%–92% in science, compared with Hathaway’s 48%, 47%, and 59%. Hathaway also serves a higher-need student population, with 60.66% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, so these comparisons should be interpreted in context. Its student-teacher ratio of 16.1 is typical for nearby schools, and its subgroup effectiveness rankings are favorable for special education, Hispanic, and low-income students. Overall, Hathaway’s main priorities are stabilizing ELA and science, strengthening third- and fourth-grade literacy, and preserving its strong fifth-grade and science outcomes.
