Summary:

This analysis examines three elementary schools serving 1,546 students in grades PK-5 within the Chehalis, WA area (zip code 98532), revealing significant differences in performance and resources between the two local districts.

Adna Elementary School in the Adna School District stands out as the highest-performing school, ranking in the top 16% of the state with test scores well above state averages in all subjects. In contrast, Orin C Smith Elementary in the Chehalis School District has seen its state ranking decline in recent years, with current scores generally below the state average. The third school, James W Lintott Elementary (also in Chehalis), serves only grades PK-2, so direct test score comparisons are not available.

Notably, Adna Elementary achieves its strong results with the lowest per-student spending of the three schools, while James W Lintott has the highest spending and the smallest class sizes. The schools also differ in student demographics, with Adna having a lower rate of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch than the two Chehalis schools. For parents, this highlights that within the same geographic area, school district affiliation is associated with different academic outcomes and resource approaches.
