While Eastridge Community Elementary School shares the same school district as the nearby schools, such as AXL Academy, Jewell Elementary School, and Highline Community Elementary School, its academic performance is significantly lower. This suggests that factors beyond just the district may be contributing to the school's challenges, such as the school's specific student population, resources, or instructional practices. Addressing these issues will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the school's struggles.
