Summary:
Asotin-Anatone School District serves the Asotin-Anatone area of southeastern Washington through two schools serving grades PK–12: Asotin Elementary for grades PK–5 and Asotin Junior Senior High for grades 6–12, with 657 students overall.
Both schools perform well compared with Washington schools, but their strengths differ. Asotin Elementary is the district’s standout in math, with 68.28% of students proficient compared with 43.11% statewide. Fourth-grade math was especially strong at 72.92%. The elementary school also exceeded the state in ELA and science, and it improved substantially from the previous year in all three subjects—particularly science, which rose by more than 20 percentage points. Asotin Junior Senior High is strongest in science, where 70.89% of students were proficient, nearly 20 points above the state. Its ELA result was also above the state, and its school ranking history has consistently placed it among the strongest schools in its comparison group. The school reported a 92% graduation rate for 2023–2024, although a current school-level graduation rate was not provided.
The main area to watch is secondary math. At Asotin Junior Senior High, math proficiency fell from 48.98% to 42.86% and was essentially equal to the state rate, while sixth grade was particularly weak in both math and ELA. This may make the transition from elementary to secondary school an important focus for families and educators. The elementary school has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, while the secondary school serves more students and has lower spending per student; these figures can reflect differences in services and accounting rather than quality alone. Overall, families will find a small district with strong academic results, especially in elementary math and secondary science, alongside a specific need to strengthen math performance in the junior-senior high grades.
