Summary:
Concrete School District is a small Washington district serving 527 students in two schools, covering kindergarten through 12th grade in the Concrete area: Concrete Elementary for grades K–5 and Concrete High School for grades 6–12.
The two schools have different strengths. Concrete High School has shown the stronger recent trajectory, rising from the 14th percentile statewide in 2023–24 to the 45th percentile in 2025–26. In the latest results, it exceeded the district average in English language arts and science, with particularly strong performance in 10th-grade ELA, where 60% of students were proficient, and 11th-grade science, where 50% were proficient. The high school also has a lower student–teacher ratio than the elementary school, 13.4 compared with 18.8. However, math remains a major challenge, with only 12.61% of students proficient, and the graduation rate was 70.9%, below the statewide 82.6% rate.
Concrete Elementary had a relative strength in math, with 18.64% proficiency compared with 15.61% districtwide, and its 4th-grade ELA and math results were notably better than its 3rd-grade results. Still, its statewide ranking declined from the 23rd percentile to the 11th percentile over the past three years, while ELA and science scores dropped substantially in the latest year. Across the district, proficiency remains below state levels in every subject, especially math. Families should also know that the district serves a high-need student population, with approximately 72.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and that small class cohorts can cause significant year-to-year changes in percentages.
