Almira School District

Almira School District has one small K–8 school, Almira Elementary School, serving 129 students in the rural community of Almira, Washington. Because it is the district’s only school, there are no neighboring schools within the district for direct comparison, and school-level and district-level results are effectively the same.

For families, the most important takeaway is that Almira Elementary generally performs above Washington averages. In 2025–2026, 60.95% of students were proficient in English language arts compared with 52.81% statewide, while 52.88% were proficient in math compared with 43.11% statewide. The school’s strongest available results were in middle-grade math: 61.29% of seventh graders were proficient, nearly 20 percentage points above the state rate, and sixth-grade math was also well above average. Sixth- and seventh-grade English language arts results exceeded state results as well. The school also has a favorable 10.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio, which may support more individualized attention, although ratios do not necessarily equal classroom size.

There are also areas parents may want to monitor. Overall math proficiency fell from 67.54% in 2024–2025 to 52.88% in 2025–2026, although it remained above the state average. Fourth-grade math was below the state rate, with 33.33% proficient compared with 49.54% statewide. Many grade-level results, including science and several elementary grades, were suppressed because of small group sizes, so those outcomes are unknown rather than negative. The school ranked in the 68th percentile statewide in both of the most recent years and received three stars, down from the 75th percentile and four stars in 2023–2024. Overall, the data describe a small, relatively high-performing K–8 school with particularly strong middle-grade outcomes and some unevenness across grades.
