In 2022-23, the students tested at Willow Crest Elementary scored proficient or above: 54% in math, against 41.1% in math across Washington. Each state writes its own test and sets its own proficiency bar, so compare these within Washington, not across states.

Where a state published results by grade only, the grades tested are combined, weighted by the students tested in each.
