The school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have also declined over the years, from a high of 225 out of 1,056 Washington elementary schools and a 4-star rating in 2016-2017 to a ranking of 562 out of 1,168 schools and a 3-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote My oldest son is in 6th grade and my youngest son is in 1st grade, my daughter will be starting in the Pre Kindergarten class next year. I have loved Evergreen Elementary since the day my family walked in the front door. The staff is great and the parent involvement is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. The only thing I would change about Evergreen Elementary is the food that is offered to our children in the public school setting. Unfortunately we're unable to afford sending the boys to school with sack lunches. I would like to see them offer better foods and a little more variety.

I love Evergreen Elementary!

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
