Summary:
This analysis covers seven elementary schools (typically serving grades K-5) located in the 98682 zip code of Vancouver, WA, all operating within the Evergreen School District (Clark), which ranks in the bottom quartile of districts statewide.
Among these schools, Emerald Elementary School stands out as the top performer, ranking in the 47th percentile for Washington and showing the most significant improvement over the past two years, while Burton Elementary School faces the greatest challenges, ranking in the 14th percentile. York Elementary School is noted as a consistent performer. Most schools in the area perform below state averages in English Language Arts and Science, though Emerald and York exceed the state average in Math.
Key findings show that higher per-student spending does not guarantee better rankings, as seen with Burnt Bridge Creek Elementary School. Performance can vary greatly by grade level within a school, and several schools have experienced notable swings in their rankings year-to-year. Despite the district's overall low ranking, Emerald Elementary demonstrates that individual schools can achieve stronger academic results, particularly excelling in Science proficiency compared to its peers.
