Summary:
Inchelium, Washington is served by three public schools within the Inchelium School District, educating a total of about 188 students from kindergarten through 12th grade in a small, rural community.
Among these schools, Inchelium High School stands out for its strong performance, particularly in English, where it significantly exceeds state averages, and for showing remarkable recent improvement in its statewide ranking. In contrast, Inchelium Middle School faces significant academic challenges, especially in mathematics, where proficiency is far below the state average despite receiving the highest per-student funding in the district. Inchelium Elementary School has also shown impressive growth over the past few years, moving from a very low to an average statewide ranking.
Key takeaways for parents include the district's success in English at the high school level and the positive turnaround trends at both the elementary and high schools. The most pressing concern is math achievement, which lags behind state standards at all grade levels, most acutely in middle school. The district's high school graduation rate has shown recent improvement, and the small class sizes, particularly in elementary grades, are a notable feature of these community schools.
