Summary

Willapa Elementary is a small K–5 school in the Raymond area, serving about 140 students in the Willapa Valley School District. Its small size and reported 13.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio may support close relationships and individualized attention. The school ranks in the 59th percentile statewide, ahead of nearby Mike Morris Elementary, Raymond Elementary School, and Cosmopolis Elementary School.

Academically, Willapa was the strongest of the four schools in the latest reported year, with 57.45% of students proficient in English language arts and 45.74% in math. Those results were above Washington averages and higher than all three nearby schools, especially in math. Math proficiency has exceeded the state level in each of the four reported years, while English results have varied but improved notably from 51.19% to 57.45% most recently. Grade-level results show particular strengths in third-grade math, third-grade ELA, and fifth-grade ELA, where 72.73% of students were proficient. Fourth-grade ELA and math, along with fifth-grade math, are the clearest areas for continued improvement. Willapa also had notably strong science results in earlier years, although the latest school-level science result is suppressed and therefore unknown.

The school’s statewide ranking has improved substantially from the 30th percentile in 2018–2019 and has remained above the state midpoint in each of the past five reported years. Its low-income student subgroup ranked in the 77th to 87th percentiles over the three most recent reporting years, suggesting strong results for that group compared with similar students statewide. Willapa’s 13.4-to-1 ratio is lower than the 15.8-to-1 ratio at Mike Morris, 16.3-to-1 at Raymond, and 16.5-to-1 at Cosmopolis. Overall, the school combines stronger recent academic results, a favorable long-term trend, and a smaller-classroom profile, while grade-level variation and the unavailable latest science result are worth keeping in mind.
