Summary:
The Coulee-Hartline School District has only one elementary school, Coulee City Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Located in a rural area, the school has a small enrollment of just 76 students, with a predominantly White student population.
Coulee City Elementary has seen fluctuations in its academic performance and ranking over the past few years. While the school's proficiency rates in SBAC/English Language Arts and SBAC/Math are generally higher than the state averages, its 5th-grade scores are lower, suggesting room for improvement in the upper elementary grades. The school's ranking has declined from 307th out of 1,169 Washington elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 655th out of 1,168 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has dropped from 4 stars to 2 stars during this period.
Despite the school's high spending per student ($18,892) and low student-teacher ratio (9.1), these resources do not appear to be translating into consistent academic success. Additionally, with over 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Coulee City Elementary may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could impact student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that the school is struggling to maintain its academic standards and may need to address the unique needs of its rural, low-income student population.
