Summary:
Concrete Elementary is the only elementary school in Concrete School District, serving about 308 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in the rural community of Concrete, Washington. Because there is only one elementary school, families cannot compare schools within the district; instead, the most useful comparisons are with district and Washington state averages and with the school’s results over time.
In 2025–2026, proficiency at Concrete Elementary was 24.58% in English Language Arts, 18.64% in math, and 25.93% in science. Math was the school’s relative strength because it exceeded the district average of 15.61%, although it remained well below the Washington average of 43.11%. English Language Arts and science were below both district and state averages. Fourth grade produced the strongest available results, with 32.61% proficient in ELA and 30.43% in math. Third grade was the most significant concern, with only 15.56% proficient in ELA and 13.33% in math. Fifth-grade math results were suppressed to protect privacy and should not be interpreted as zero or as a low score.
Results declined from the prior year, particularly in science, which fell from 43.24% to 25.93%, while ELA decreased from 38.73% to 24.58% and math declined more modestly. The school’s statewide ranking also moved from the 23rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 11th percentile in 2025–2026, broadly matching the district’s low statewide standing. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 66.88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and reports a student-teacher ratio of 18.8:1. For families, the main questions to explore are how the school supports third-grade literacy and math, what contributed to the stronger fourth-grade results, and how it plans to improve science and overall achievement.
