Best Public Schools in Omak, WA

Omak, Washington, has nine schools serving elementary, middle, high-school, and alternative-school students, with about 6,023 students overall; three large Washington Virtual Academy schools account for roughly 71% of enrollment, while most other schools belong to the Omak School District.

The strongest traditional-school academic results come from E Omak Elementary, which posted the area’s highest reported math proficiency at 32.94% and science proficiency at 49.53%, nearly matching the state science rate. The virtual schools generally compare favorably with their traditional counterparts: Washington Virtual Academy Omak Middle School outperformed Omak Middle School in every tested subject, while Washington Virtual Academy Omak High School exceeded Omak High School in ELA, math, and science. The virtual high school also had an 82.3% graduation rate, close to the statewide 82.6% rate.

Math is the most widespread concern: no school with a reported result reached 33% proficiency, and results were especially low at Omak High School (3.96%) and Omak Middle School (10.62%). Highlands, an alternative school, had the lowest reported graduation rate at 59.4% and the highest dropout rate, though its small size and specialized student population make direct comparisons difficult. Results are unavailable for N Omak Elementary and Paschal Sherman Indian School, so missing data should not be treated as poor performance. Families should also consider that achievement data is mostly from 2025–2026, while other measures use earlier years.
