Summary:
Carbonado, Washington, has one public school, Carbonado Historical School 19, a small K–8 school serving 176 students in the Carbonado School District. Although classified as an elementary school, it serves students from kindergarten through eighth grade, with no separate middle or high school listed in the city. This means the school represents nearly the entire local public-school experience and gives families a continuous setting through eighth grade.
Carbonado Historical School 19 performs well compared with Washington overall. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 66.12% in English language arts, 60.33% in math, and 55.26% in science, compared with statewide rates of 52.81%, 43.11%, and 50.95%. Math is the clearest strength, especially seventh-grade math, where 78.57% of students were proficient. The school also had a four-star rating and ranked in the 75th percentile statewide. Its 13.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio may support a more personal school environment, although the available data do not show individual class sizes.
Families should also be aware of some uneven results. Eighth-grade English language arts proficiency was 28.57%, below the statewide 50.90%, while eighth-grade science was 42.86%, slightly below the state rate. Overall science proficiency declined from 70.00% in 2024–2025 to 55.26% in 2025–2026, making it an area to watch. However, the school’s small enrollment means that results can change noticeably when only a few students perform differently from one year to the next. Several grade-level results were suppressed for privacy, so they should be viewed as unknown rather than weak. Overall, the Carbonado School District offers a strong academic profile, particularly in math, within a compact K–8 setting.
