Inchelium School District

Summary:

The Inchelium School District is a small, rural district in Washington with three schools—Inchelium Elementary School, Inchelium Middle School, and Inchelium High School—serving about 188 students from kindergarten through 12th grade on what appears to be a compact campus.

Among these schools, Inchelium High School stands out as the top performer, showing a remarkable recent improvement in its state ranking and earning a 3-star rating with strong English proficiency of 70%. Inchelium Elementary School also shows positive trends, with some grade levels outperforming state averages in math and English. Inchelium Middle School faces the most significant academic challenges, particularly in math where proficiency is very low.

While the district spends more per student than typical and maintains small class sizes, overall test scores in math and science remain below state averages. The high school's dramatic turnaround and the elementary school's steady gains are encouraging signs of progress, but consistent performance across all subjects and grade levels remains a focus for the Inchelium School District.
