Summary:
Prescott, Washington has three small public schools serving about 225 students in grades K–12: Prescott Elementary School (K–5), Prescott Middle School (6–8), and Prescott High School (9–12). The schools are part of the small Prescott School District, which ranks around the 35th percentile among Washington districts. Small class sizes and low student-teacher ratios are notable features, particularly at the middle and high schools, although the small enrollment means that a few students can significantly affect yearly percentages.
Prescott Elementary School has the strongest overall academic profile, ranking at about the 45th statewide percentile. Its clearest strength is math: 54.24% of students are proficient, above the Washington average of 43.11%, with especially strong third-grade results. However, elementary ELA is below the state average, and science is a major concern, with only 25% proficiency. Prescott Middle School ranks lower, at about the 30th percentile, but it made the biggest recent improvement. Math rose from 12.5% to 36%, and ELA increased from 18.75% to 32%. Sixth-grade math is a relative bright spot, while seventh- and eighth-grade math and upper-grade ELA remain weaker.
Prescott High School has shown the largest multi-year ranking improvement, rising to approximately the 39th percentile. Its science proficiency of 41.18% is below the state average but above the district result, and its previous ELA result was close to the state average. Current high-school ELA and math results are suppressed, so they cannot be judged. Across the district, science is the most consistent weakness, while elementary math is the strongest measurable area. Families may also want to consider the high school’s low 7.6 student-teacher ratio and highest per-student spending, while remembering that small cohorts and suppressed results make precise comparisons less certain.
