The city of Gold Bar, Washington is home to a single elementary school, Gold Bar Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Sultan School District and has a diverse student population, with a majority of White and Hispanic students.

Academically, Gold Bar Elementary faces some challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math falling below the district and state averages across all grade levels. However, the school's science proficiency rates are above the district and state averages. Despite higher-than-average spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has a low statewide ranking and a 1 to 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement in student outcomes.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Gold Bar Elementary suggests that the school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, which could be a contributing factor to the academic performance challenges. While the school's performance is below the district and state averages, further analysis of the broader context and factors influencing these results could provide valuable insights to help address the school's needs and support the success of its students.
