Summary:

The Onalaska School District in rural Lewis County has one elementary school, Onalaska Elementary School, serving about 437 students from Pre-K through 5th grade.

This school shows a clear strength in science, where student proficiency notably exceeds the state average.

Despite these academic challenges, the school has maintained a stable statewide ranking in the 46th to 47th percentile over the last three years.

It operates with a student-teacher ratio of about 17-to-1 and spending of roughly $16,500 per student. The district's overall rating is higher than the elementary school's, which may reflect the performance of its higher-grade levels not covered in this elementary analysis.
