Summary:
Naselle, Washington, is served by two public schools within the Naselle-Grays River Valley School District, a small rural district educating about 316 students from kindergarten through 12th grade at Naselle-Grays River Valley Elementary (K-5) and Naselle-Grays River Valley Junior Senior High Schools (6-12).
These schools show distinct academic strengths: the high school excels in English Language Arts, with 10th graders achieving over 81% proficiency, and has shown remarkable improvement in its statewide ranking. The elementary school, however, outperforms in math and particularly in science, where its 63.6% proficiency rate is well above the state average. Both schools serve a student population with significant economic needs, with over 65% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, making their above-average performances in key subjects noteworthy. Financially, more resources are allocated per student at the high school level.
Parents should note the positive trajectory, as both schools have consistently improved their rankings over recent years. A key area for attention is math proficiency, which declines as students progress from elementary to high school. The elementary school's strong science program could be a model for the district, while the high school's strength in ELA and improving graduation rate are significant assets. Overall, the Naselle-Grays River Valley School District is showing promising progress across its two schools.
