Summary:
Ione, Washington, has two small schools serving grades 6–12: Selkirk Middle School for grades 6–8 and Selkirk High School for grades 9–12. Both are part of the Selkirk School District, share a campus, and together enroll 128 students. No elementary or alternative school is listed in the available data, so families with younger children may need to look outside this school listing.
Selkirk High School has the stronger overall academic profile. It ranked in the 84th percentile statewide in 2024–2025 and had especially strong results in English language arts and science, with proficiency rates 21.9 and 21.45 percentage points above Washington’s rates. Its 2025–2026 math proficiency reached 57.14%, exceeding the state by 14.03 points. The high school also has a lower student-teacher ratio than the middle school, 10.4 compared with 11.8, although its higher per-student spending likely reflects the costs of operating a very small high school. Available graduation information is limited and does not establish a current school-specific rate.
Selkirk Middle School shows positive results in English language arts and science, both slightly above state averages in 2025–2026. Its main concern is mathematics: only 26.67% of students were proficient, 16.44 points below the state, and all three grades trailed Washington. Math proficiency also fell sharply from the previous year, while ELA and science improved modestly. Because these schools are small, results can change substantially when only a few students move above or below the proficiency standard. For parents, the clearest takeaway is that the high school is performing strongly overall, while middle-school math deserves focused attention and continued monitoring.
