Summary:
The Colville School District operates two elementary schools, Hofstetter Elementary serving grades K-2 and Fort Colville Elementary serving grades 3-5, which together educate over 760 students in a district ranked in the top quarter statewide.
When comparing the schools, Fort Colville Elementary has recent test scores showing students performing above state averages in English, math, and especially science, though math scores decline noticeably by 5th grade. It has a smaller student body, a lower student-teacher ratio, and higher per-student spending. Hofstetter Elementary is larger, has a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and operates with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student funding, though its recent academic performance data is not available for direct comparison.
Overall, the Colville School District provides a strong elementary foundation, with one key area for improvement being support for upper-grade math at Fort Colville Elementary. The disparity in resources between the two schools is notable, as the school serving the younger grades has less funding and larger class sizes despite the district's high overall ranking.
