Summary

Ridgeview Elementary is a K–5 school in Yakima, Washington, serving 533 students in the Yakima School District in a high-need community near several other elementary schools. In 2024–25, 87.24% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, while the student-teacher ratio was a favorable 14.6:1. The school received a 1-star rating in the supplied data, but its statewide ranking improved notably in 2025–26, reaching the 22nd percentile compared with the 10th percentile the previous year.

Ridgeview is one of the stronger recent performers among nearby schools in the same district, ranking behind only Nob Hill Elementary School and Whitney Elementary. Its math proficiency was 33.73%, well above the district average of 22.09% and higher than most nearby schools, including Roosevelt Elementary School, McKinley Elementary School, Martin Luther King Junior Elementary, Garfield Elementary School, Hoover Elementary School, Mcclure Elementary School, and Adams Elementary School. ELA proficiency was 32.81%, close to the district average but below the state average.

Science is the clearest concern: Ridgeview’s 25.88% proficiency was below both the district and state averages and declined from 35.63% the prior year. Grade-level results also show a substantial math drop from 46.25% proficiency in third grade to 22.35% in fifth grade, suggesting that maintaining progress in later grades is important. Nearby Union Gap School provides a useful comparison, outperforming Ridgeview in ELA, math, science, and overall ranking despite a similar level of economic need. Ridgeview’s relatively high per-student spending, favorable staffing ratio, improving ranking, and strong subgroup results indicate meaningful strengths, while science and upper-grade achievement remain priorities.
