Summary:
The city of Puyallup, Washington is home to 22 elementary schools, the majority of which are part of the Puyallup School District. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities in the Puyallup area.
Several schools stand out as high-performing, including Shaw Road Elementary, Fruitland Elementary, Woodland Elementary, Ridgecrest Elementary, and Spinning Elementary. These schools have consistently high academic achievement across multiple subject areas and rank among the top elementary schools in the state. In contrast, a few schools like Firgrove Elementary, Karshner Elementary, and Stewart Elementary struggle academically, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.
The data reveals a correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and its academic performance. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower test scores. Additionally, the two Bethel School District elementary schools in the data set, Frederickson Elementary and Bethel Elementary Learning Academy, both have lower test scores compared to the Puyallup School District schools.
