Summary:
Ellsworth Elementary School is a public elementary school in Vancouver, Washington, serving 376 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Evergreen School District, which is ranked 185 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ellsworth Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to surrounding schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (33.78%) and Pacific Islander (3.46%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the Evergreen School District and Washington state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 35.75% of Ellsworth students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 52.63% statewide. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing relatively better than White, Multi-racial, and Special Education students.
Ellsworth Elementary's challenges are further compounded by its high percentage of students (65.96% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's spending per student has been relatively high, ranging from $11,637 to $19,114 over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Despite these investments, Ellsworth's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 649 out of 1,067 elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 948 out of 1,168 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Compared to nearby schools like Endeavour Elementary and Hearthwood Elementary, as well as schools in the neighboring Vancouver School District, Ellsworth's academic performance is generally lower.
