Elementary Schools in Vancouver School District


Summary:

The Vancouver School District in Washington is home to 21 diverse elementary schools serving students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. These schools demonstrate a wide range of academic performance, with some standouts like Felida Elementary School and Benjamin Franklin Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, while others like Fruit Valley Elementary and Washington Elementary struggle with lower proficiency rates.

The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance across the district, with a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and student achievement. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Fruit Valley Elementary (87.37%) and Martin Luther King Elementary (48.96%), tend to have lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to their more affluent counterparts like Felida Elementary (18.96%). Additionally, the racial and ethnic composition of the student body may play a role, as seen in the contrasting performance of Felida Elementary (predominantly white) and Martin Luther King Elementary (majority Hispanic).

While increased funding and resources do not necessarily guarantee better academic outcomes, as evidenced by the high-spending Fruit Valley Elementary, targeted interventions and equitable distribution of support could help address the disparities within the Vancouver School District. Comprehensive strategies that consider the unique needs and challenges of each school community will be crucial in ensuring high-quality education for all students in the district.
