Summary

McClure Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 559 students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in the Yakima School District, located in a high-need community where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in Washington state, a position that has declined since before the pandemic. While its performance in English Language Arts improves as students move from 3rd to 5th grade, math scores tend to drop over the same period. A notable bright spot is science, where McClure's students outperform the district average and several nearby schools, including Robertson Elementary and Garfield Elementary School. However, a concerning gender gap exists, with the school's educational effectiveness for female students ranking significantly lower statewide than for male students.

McClure receives substantial funding per student, more than some neighboring schools with similar student demographics, yet it achieves lower academic outcomes. For comparison, Nob Hill Elementary School, located less than a mile away and serving a similar community, performs in a much higher percentile. This suggests that different approaches within the same district can yield different results. The school's struggles are also contextualized by the Yakima School District's overall low ranking in the state, indicating broader systemic challenges that all area schools are working to address.
