At the top of the district's elementary schools are standout performers like Libby Center, which ranks 2nd out of 1,168 elementary schools in Washington and boasts exceptional proficiency rates of 93.75% in English Language Arts and 95.49% in Math. Other high-achieving schools include Hutton Elementary and Wilson Elementary, which rank 110th and 91st in the state, respectively.
