Rocky Ridge Elementary is a public elementary school in Graham, Washington, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Bethel School District.
While Rocky Ridge Elementary has a higher percentage of White students compared to nearby schools, its test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance for Hispanic students is relatively stronger, ranking 209 out of 651 Washington elementary schools, but it ranks much lower for White students at 790 out of 1,009 schools. Rocky Ridge also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.36% to 50.61% over the past three years, which is higher than the nearby schools.
Rocky Ridge Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, and it performs worse on standardized tests compared to other schools in the Bethel School District. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes, and the significant performance gap between White and Hispanic students suggests potential equity concerns that the school and district may need to address.
