Summary:
In the 98565 zip code of Washington, there is one elementary school, Napavine Elementary, serving grades PK-6 with 411 students in the Napavine School District.
Napavine Elementary shows a clear strength in science, where its proficiency rate of 54.1% outpaces both the district and state averages. However, the school's overall performance has recently declined, dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating this year, and it trails state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. A notable pattern is that student proficiency tends to drop significantly in the 6th grade, suggesting challenges with the transition to middle school-level work.
With nearly half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a community with considerable economic need. Its per-student spending and class sizes are around the state average. While the recent ranking drop is a concern, the school's strong science program indicates a specific area of effective instruction that could be a model for improvement in other subjects.
