Summary:
Loon Lake School District includes two elementary schools serving 251 students: Loon Lake Homelink Program, which serves kindergarten through 8th grade, and Loon Lake Elementary School, which serves prekindergarten through 6th grade.
The two schools provide notably different academic experiences. Homelink is the stronger-performing school, with 2025–2026 proficiency rates of 50.57% in English language arts and 39.08% in math—much higher than Loon Lake Elementary’s 21.15% and 15.38%. Homelink’s results are relatively close to Washington averages, although its math performance remains somewhat below the state rate. Its strongest reported results include 3rd-grade ELA and 6th-grade math, while 5th- and 7th-grade math are areas for improvement. Homelink ranks in the 43rd percentile statewide, compared with the elementary school’s 14th percentile. However, Homelink’s ranking has declined somewhat over the past three years, so its results show relative strength within the district rather than consistently rising statewide performance.
Loon Lake Elementary is the district’s primary academic concern. Its ELA and math results are substantially below state averages, and ELA declined sharply from the prior year. Science improved considerably, rising to 41.67%, though it remains below the Washington average. Families should also know that the schools appear to operate differently: reported spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary widely, and Homelink serves older students through 8th grade. These figures may reflect differences in staffing, program structure, or accounting and should not be interpreted as classroom size or instructional quality by themselves. Some grade-level results are suppressed, meaning those outcomes are unavailable rather than zero. Overall, Homelink appears to be the stronger option academically, while Loon Lake Elementary may offer the greatest need—and opportunity—for focused support in reading and math.
