Best Public Schools in Ashford, WA

The city of Ashford, Washington has only one school in the data set - Columbia Crest A-STEM Academy, an elementary school serving grades K-8. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 553 out of 1,169 elementary schools to 886 out of 1,169, its overall academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math tend to lag behind the Eatonville School District and Washington state averages.

One bright spot for Columbia Crest A-STEM Academy is its stronger performance in Science, with a proficiency rate of 50% compared to 39.21% for the district and 49.73% for the state. However, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 66.43% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 13.9 could be an advantage, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.

Overall, while Columbia Crest A-STEM Academy is the only school represented in the data set for Ashford, Washington, its mixed academic performance and high socioeconomic needs suggest room for improvement. Further analysis and comparison to other schools in the district or state could provide additional insights and context for the school's performance and the educational landscape in the Ashford area.
