While Columbia Elementary has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (31.07%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 9.44% to 17.16%, it has a lower percentage of White students (61.92%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 71.94% to 92.61%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are significantly lower than the state and district averages, and it consistently ranks in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on student subgroup metrics, such as female, male, Hispanic, White, and low socioeconomic status students, is also in the bottom half of the state.
Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as North Fork Elementary, Chinook Elementary, and Union Ridge Elementary, generally have higher academic proficiency rates, higher school rankings, and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that Columbia Elementary may benefit from learning from the practices and strategies of its higher-performing counterparts, as well as addressing the unique needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
