Summary

Winlock Miller Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 415 students in the small-town community of Winlock, Washington, within the Winlock School District. The school ranks in the 21st percentile statewide, an improvement from several earlier years, but it remains below the Washington midpoint and below most nearby comparison schools. In 2024–2025, 63.86% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves a relatively high-need student population.

Academic results are mixed. In 2025–2026, 31.21% of students were proficient in English language arts, 33.72% in math, and 35.09% in science. Math is the school’s clearest relative strength: it is 9.40 percentage points above the district result and reached its best level in the four-year series. However, all three subjects remain below state averages, and ELA has declined from 40.74% in 2023–2024 to 31.21%. Fourth-grade ELA and fifth-grade math deserve particular attention; just 23.21% of fifth graders were proficient in math. Fifth-grade science was also below the state rate.

Compared with nearby schools, Winlock Miller generally falls in the lower portion of the group. It performs better than Jefferson Lincoln Elementary in ELA and math and is close to Washington Elementary School, but trails Toledo Elementary School, Onalaska Elementary School, Orin C Smith Elementary School, and Napavine Elementary in most measures. Adna Elementary School is the strongest nearby performer, with especially large advantages in ELA and math. Winlock Miller also has the highest student-teacher ratio among the listed comparison schools, at 19.0, which may make targeted small-group support more difficult. Overall, the main priorities are improving reading across grades, addressing fifth-grade math, and sustaining the recent progress in math.
