Summary:
Naches Valley School District serves about 1,308 students in three schools covering prekindergarten through 12th grade in the Naches Valley community: Naches Valley Elementary School, Naches Valley Middle School, and Naches Valley High School. Overall, the district ranks around the lower-middle portion of Washington districts, but results vary considerably by school and subject.
Naches Valley Elementary School is the district’s standout in mathematics. About 60% of students were proficient in math in 2025–26, well above both district and state results, and the score improved substantially from the prior year. Its main challenge is English language arts, where proficiency was about 40%, below the state average. The middle school is the clearest area for improvement: it ranked lowest among the three schools and trailed district and state averages in ELA, math, and science. Sixth-grade math was especially weak, suggesting that the transition into middle school deserves close attention. Its student–teacher ratio was also the highest in the district, at 19.1.
Naches Valley High School has the strongest graduation and ELA profile. Its 92% graduation rate was considerably higher than the statewide rate, and its latest ELA result exceeded both district and state performance. However, math proficiency was only about 26%, below the district and state, and the school experienced notable year-over-year declines in ELA and math. Across the district, the largest concern is the sharp drop in math performance between elementary and secondary grades. Families may therefore want to consider the elementary school’s math success, the middle-school transition, and the high school’s strong graduation record alongside its need for stronger math support.
