Summary

Columbia River Gorge Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Washougal, Washington, serving 340 students in a community near the Columbia River and the Camas area. It is part of the Washougal School District, which ranks in the 66th percentile statewide, while the school itself ranks in the 47th percentile among Washington elementary schools. Its latest results place it near the middle statewide, with a two-star rating. Performance has varied: the school reached the 70th percentile in 2022–23, fell to the 36th percentile in 2024–25, and recovered to the 47th percentile in 2025–26.

Math is the school’s strongest overall subject, with 45.16% of students proficient—slightly above both the district and Washington averages. Science proficiency was 52.63%, also above the state average, though below the district’s 58.74%. English Language Arts was weaker at 44.52%, below both comparison averages. Third grade stands out, especially in math, where 60.47% of students were proficient, and in ELA, where the school matched the state rate at 48.84%. By fifth grade, however, math proficiency fell to 35.09%, below district and state results, making upper-elementary achievement an important area to watch. Science remains a potential strength, although results have declined from more than 67% in 2022–23 and 2023–24.

Within Washougal, Columbia River Gorge is broadly competitive: it outperforms Cape Horn-Skye Elementary in all three tested subjects and is close to Hathaway Elementary in math and ELA, though it trails Gause Elementary in statewide ranking. The larger contrast is with nearby Camas School District schools such as Grass Valley Elementary and Dorothy Fox, which report substantially higher proficiency rates. Columbia River Gorge also serves a more economically diverse enrollment, with 42.65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals. Key priorities are sustaining third-grade strengths, improving upper-grade ELA and math, and examining differences in outcomes for female students and students from lower-income households.
