Summary:
The Okanogan School District has one elementary school, Grainger Elementary, serving grades K-5 with 404 students in a community where about two-thirds of children qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Grainger Elementary shows a clear pattern of strengths and challenges across different grades. The school's fourth graders are a notable strength, performing well above state averages in both English and math. However, there is a significant drop in math proficiency by fifth grade, and English Language Arts scores generally trail behind the state average in most grades. On a positive note, the school's overall state ranking has been steadily improving over the last three years.
With a favorable student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, the school is well-resourced. The improving ranking suggests strategies are working, but parents should note the inconsistent performance between grade levels. The school's performance in science is close to the state average, and it outperforms the Okanogan School District average in math.
