Summary:
The Lake Chelan School District has one elementary school, Morgen Owings Elementary School, serving about 470 students in grades Kindergarten through 5th.
As the sole elementary school in the district, Morgen Owings Elementary serves all young students in the area. The school faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science consistently below Washington state averages. A notable trend is that while reading scores improve from 3rd to 5th grade, math scores decline over the same period, which is a key area for potential improvement.
The school has a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and receives substantial funding, spending over $19,000 per student. Despite this investment, the school's state ranking has declined over the past three years, placing it in the bottom quarter of all elementary schools in Washington. For parents, this indicates the school is navigating complex challenges, and understanding the specific support systems and academic interventions in place will be crucial.
