Summary:
Colville School District serves about 1,737 students in five schools covering PK–12 in the Colville area, with a four-star rating and a statewide ranking in the 76th percentile. The schools include traditional elementary, middle, and high school programs, plus the smaller alternative Panorama School. Overall, the district offers solid graduation and science results, although math is the most consistent academic challenge.
Colville Senior High School is the strongest traditional school overall, with a 92% graduation rate, 65.49% ELA proficiency, and 57.78% science proficiency. Its main weakness is math, at 33.04%, below both the district and state. Colville Junior High School stands out in science, with 62.60% proficiency, but its math result is also low, especially in sixth grade, where only 20% of students were proficient. Fort Colville Elementary has the best current math performance among the traditional schools at 44.79% and a favorable student-teacher ratio, though third-grade math and overall ELA need attention. Current academic results for Hofstetter Elementary, which serves kindergarten through second grade, were not available, so its performance cannot be fairly compared.
Recent results show science improving substantially at the high school and junior high, while math and ELA declined at most schools with comparable data. Families may therefore want to ask about math support, particularly during the transition into sixth grade, while also considering each school’s grade span and program. Panorama School serves only 68 students and has a different alternative-school mission; its graduation and test results are lower, but they should be interpreted alongside student mobility, credit recovery, and re-engagement needs. More than half of students at every school qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that academic and support services are important throughout the district, not just at one campus.
