Summary:
Schools in Wapato, Washington, include 10 schools serving students from kindergarten through grade 12 within the Wapato School District, including five elementary schools, two middle schools, three high-school-level programs, and online options. Together, they serve about 3,200 students in a community where most schools report high levels of economic need.
Satus Elementary is the strongest academic performer in the available test results. In 2025–2026, it exceeded the district average in English, math, and science, and its math proficiency of 29.68% was notably higher than the results at Adams Elementary, Wapato Middle School, and Wapato High School. However, Satus still trailed statewide averages, and its latest ranking declined. Wapato High stands out for its 93.4% graduation rate, above both district and state rates, as well as its relatively strong English performance. Its math results were much weaker, making math the district’s clearest academic challenge. Wapato Middle improved in all three tested subjects year over year, though overall proficiency remained low.
Parents should also consider important differences among programs. Pace Alternative High School reported a lower graduation rate than the district and state, while the three Wapato Online Academy 9–12, Wapato Online Academy 6–8, and Wapato Online Academy K–5 programs have very small enrollments and many suppressed test results. Camas Elementary and Simcoe Elementary School have limited achievement data in the supplied information. Overall, the district’s graduation outcomes and Satus’s performance are encouraging, but low math achievement and rankings near the bottom statewide remain significant concerns.
