Best Public Schools in Chelan, WA


Summary:

The Lake Chelan School District serves 1,246 students across four public schools—Morgen Owings Elementary School (K-5), Chelan Middle School (6-8), Chelan High School (9-12), and the smaller alternative Chelan School of Innovation (9-12)—in a district ranked in the 35th percentile statewide.

Comparing the schools, Chelan Middle School stands out as the strongest academically, with the district's only 3-star rating, the best math scores, and a favorable student-teacher ratio. In contrast, Morgen Owings Elementary School has shown a concerning decline in its statewide ranking. The two high schools present a mixed picture: while the main Chelan High School has a very strong graduation rate, its academic proficiency, especially in math, lags behind the state average, whereas the Chelan School of Innovation posts the highest English scores despite its very small size and high student-teacher ratio.

Overall, the Lake Chelan School District excels at keeping students on track to graduate but faces challenges in bringing all students to grade-level proficiency, particularly in mathematics. Parents should note the significant performance jump from elementary to middle school and the district-wide strength in English compared to other core subjects.
