Washington Elementary School District

The Washington Elementary School District in Arizona serves 33 schools, including 28 elementary schools and 5 middle schools, but no high schools or alternative schools. The district as a whole performs poorly, ranking 225 out of 288 districts in the state and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the district - Lookout Mountain School and Abraham Lincoln Traditional School have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. On the other hand, Mountain View Elementary School, Washington Elementary School, and Alta Vista Elementary School have very low proficiency rates and rankings.

Across the district, proficiency rates in core subjects are well below state averages, often by 10-20 percentage points. The district also has high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.75% to 102.81%, and dropout rates over 3% at several schools. While spending per student varies widely, there is no clear correlation between spending and academic performance, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve outcomes. The data indicates significant inequities in educational opportunities and resources within the district, which will need to be addressed to improve student success.
