Chambers Prairie's higher per-student spending compared to the district average does not seem to translate into higher academic outcomes, suggesting the need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning. When compared to other nearby schools in the North Thurston Public Schools district, such as Evergreen Forest Elementary and Lakes Elementary, Chambers Prairie generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in ELA and Math.
