Summary:
The Entiat School District operates two schools—Paul Rumburg Elementary (PK-5) and Entiat Middle and High School (6-12)—on a single campus, serving a total of 436 students in a small, rural Washington community.
There is a notable performance difference between the two schools. Entiat Middle and High School is the stronger performer, consistently earning average state rankings and a key strength is its 85% graduation rate, which exceeds the state average. In contrast, Paul Rumburg Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with test scores and rankings consistently below state averages, placing it in the bottom quarter of elementary schools.
Across the district, test scores in English, math, and science are below Washington averages, with science being a particular area of need. Despite this, the secondary school's success in graduating students is a positive sign. The district spends more per student than the state average and maintains small class sizes, suggesting that factors beyond funding are influencing the academic outcomes, especially at the elementary level.
