Summary:
Kittitas School District has one elementary school, Kittitas Elementary School, serving students from kindergarten through fifth grade in the Kittitas area of central Washington. The school enrolls 246 students, has a reported student-teacher ratio of 15.5 to 1, and received a three-star rating. Because it is the district’s only elementary school, there are no local elementary-school comparisons; its results are best understood alongside district, state, and previous-year data.
Kittitas Elementary’s strongest academic areas are science and math. In 2025–2026, 63.04% of students were proficient in science, compared with 56.45% districtwide and 50.95% statewide. Math proficiency was 49.12%, well above the district’s 35.29% and the state’s 43.11%. Fifth-grade math was especially notable, with 54.35% of students proficient—11.03 percentage points above the state result. Science also showed the largest year-over-year gain, rising by 22.30 percentage points from the prior year. These results suggest that families may find particular strengths in the school’s math and science instruction.
English Language Arts is the main area needing improvement. Overall ELA proficiency was 45.61%, slightly below the district’s 47.64% and 7.20 points below the state’s 52.81%. The school improved in ELA, math, and science compared with the previous year, and its statewide ranking rose from 761th of 1,160 schools to 441st of 1,138 schools, moving from the 34th to the 61st percentile. Parents may want to ask about literacy support, reading progress, and how instruction is strengthened across third through fifth grade. The school’s small enrollment can also make annual percentages fluctuate, so families should consider multiple years of results along with classroom experience and school programs.
