Best Public Schools in Maple Falls, WA


Summary:

The city of Maple Falls, Washington is home to a single elementary school, Kendall Elementary, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Mount Baker School District. While the district is ranked 190 out of 247 in the state, Kendall Elementary has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of elementary schools in Washington with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kendall Elementary's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall proficiency rates were 36.71% in English Language Arts and 22.28% in Math, compared to the state averages of 52.63% and 41.68%, respectively.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (79.2%) at Kendall Elementary indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces. Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $23,198 in the 2021-2022 school year, its academic performance remains below the state and district averages, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the potential need for a more targeted approach to addressing the specific needs of its student population.
