Summary:
The Mead School District in Washington is home to 10 high-performing elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools consistently rank among the top in the state, with several standout institutions leading the way.
At the top of the district are Midway Elementary, which boasts the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, and Skyline Elementary, which ranks 115th out of 1,168 Washington elementary schools and has the second-highest proficiency rates. Other top performers include Prairie View Elementary and Colbert Elementary.
While the Mead School District as a whole outperforms the state averages, there are significant gaps in proficiency rates between the top-performing and lower-performing schools. This suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower proficiency rates. The district's leadership will need to address these equity concerns to ensure all students receive a quality education.
