Summary:
Methow Valley School District has one elementary school, Methow Valley Elementary, which serves students from the rural Methow Valley region. This school stands out for its strong science proficiency, with rates significantly above the district and state averages, despite serving a significant population of economically disadvantaged students with a 40.28% free and reduced lunch rate.
Methow Valley Elementary's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, but the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 489 out of 1,169 schools in 2022-2023 to 816 out of 1,169 schools in 2021-2022. This suggests that factors beyond just test scores, such as changes in student population or teaching staff, may be influencing the school's performance.
Despite the challenges of serving a significant economically disadvantaged population, Methow Valley Elementary stands out for its low student-teacher ratio of 14.5 and higher-than-average spending per student of $17,662. These resources may contribute to the school's strong science proficiency and provide opportunities for further improvement in other subject areas.
