Summary:
The University Place School District is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools offer a diverse educational experience, with student populations reflecting the broader diversity of the University Place community.
Among the standout schools in the district, University Place Primary emerges as the top performer, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 99th out of 1,168 Washington elementary schools. This school boasts the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. Another strong performer is Chambers Elementary, which ranks 180th in the state and has the second-highest proficiency rates in the district, likely aided by its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.7.
While the elementary schools in the University Place School District vary in size, from 473 students at Chambers Elementary to 546 students at Sunset Primary, they all serve diverse student populations with significant percentages of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students. The district also faces the challenge of a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 38.83% to 43.89% across the schools. Understanding and addressing these factors will be crucial for the district to continue supporting the academic success of all its students.
