Summary:

The Orondo School District is a small, rural district consisting of a single school, Orondo Elementary and Middle School, which serves 124 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade in a community along the Columbia River.

As the only school in the district, Orondo Elementary and Middle School offers a small, close-knit environment with a student-teacher ratio of 13.5 to 1 and invests significantly in each student, with per-pupil spending of nearly $40,000. The school has shown notable recent improvement, moving from the 34th to the 48th percentile in state rankings over the past year. However, overall academic proficiency in English, math, and science remains below the Washington state average, with science being a particular area for growth.

Interesting strengths include exceptional performance in the early grades, with 3rd graders scoring well above state averages in both math and reading. The school serves a community with high economic need, with over 83% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The combination of high investment, a small-school setting, and recent ranking gains suggests a dedicated effort to support student learning, though sustaining academic success through the middle school years appears to be an ongoing focus.
