Omak School District

Omak School District includes eight schools serving grades K–12 in the Omak area of Washington: three elementary schools, two middle schools, two high schools, and one alternative school. The district serves 5,873 listed students, but about 73% are enrolled in its three Washington Virtual Academy programs, so districtwide averages are strongly shaped by virtual enrollment. Academic results are mixed, with virtual schools generally outperforming traditional schools in English language arts and science, while mathematics is a widespread concern.

Washington Virtual Academy Omak High School has the strongest overall profile, ranking in the 38th percentile statewide, with 82.3% graduation, 51.54% ELA proficiency, and 49.89% science proficiency. Its math result was much weaker at 16.2%. Among traditional schools, E Omak Elementary stands out, ranking in the 30th percentile and posting the district’s strongest traditional elementary results, including a major science improvement to 49.53%. Washington Virtual Academy Omak Middle School substantially outperformed Omak Middle School in every reported subject, especially ELA and science.

Families should pay particular attention to mathematics and middle-school performance. Omak High School had only 3.96% math proficiency despite an 80.5% graduation rate, while Omak Middle School ranked near the bottom statewide with 25.09% ELA, 10.62% math, and 18.18% science proficiency. Highlands, the alternative school, reported a 59.4% graduation rate and a 21.6% dropout rate, indicating a need for intensive student support. Economic need is high across the district, with reported free/reduced-price lunch rates generally above 69%. Suppressed figures should be treated as unknown, not zero.
