Summary:
Northport School District in Washington serves a small, rural community and contains one elementary school, Northport Elementary School, which educates about 105 students from kindergarten through 8th grade.
This school stands out for its significant resources, including a very low student-teacher ratio of 10-to-1 and high per-student spending of nearly $23,000, which contribute to notable strengths in science and middle school math, outperforming state averages. However, academic performance varies considerably between grade levels, with 7th-grade English and 6th-grade math being particular strengths, while 4th-grade English proficiency is a notable area for improvement. The school serves a community where a large majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, demonstrating that high achievement in specific subjects is possible within this context.
Over the past three years, Northport Elementary's statewide ranking has declined, a trend that warrants attention despite its strong district standing within the Northport School District. For parents, this indicates a school with considerable individual attention and areas of excellence, especially in upper grades, but also one facing challenges in achieving consistent results across all subjects and cohorts.
