Yale Elementary

Public Grades K-4

Summary

Yale Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ariel, Washington, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 54 students. The school is part of the Woodland School District, which is ranked 98 out of 249 districts in Washington and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Yale Elementary stands out from the surrounding schools in several key metrics. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (75.93%) compared to the more diverse student populations of nearby schools like Columbia Elementary School and Maple Grove Primary. Additionally, Yale Elementary outperforms the Woodland School District and the state of Washington in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grades, with 54.55% of students proficient or better in ELA and 63.64% in Math, compared to the district's 50.64% and 37.21%, and the state's 52.86% and 41.04%, respectively.

However, Yale Elementary also faces some unique challenges. The school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 28.26% to 53.5%. This suggests that Yale Elementary serves a more economically disadvantaged population. Additionally, the school's ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, from a high of 43 out of 1,088 schools in 2009-2010 to a low of 994 out of 1,067 schools in 2007-2008, indicating inconsistent performance. Despite these challenges, Yale Elementary's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio suggest that the school may have access to more resources and staffing compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Daybreak Primary and Tukes Valley Primary.
