Summary:
Prescott School District is a small Washington district serving about 225 students in grades K–12 across three schools: Prescott Elementary School, Prescott Middle School, and Prescott High School. The district has a rural, close-knit profile, relatively low student-teacher ratios, and high reported per-student spending, but its overall ranking is below the statewide midpoint.
Prescott Elementary School is the strongest academic school overall, especially in mathematics. Its 2025–2026 math proficiency was 54.24%, including an impressive 68.42% in third grade, both above state comparisons. However, science was a major weakness at 25%, and elementary English language arts results were below the state in every reported grade. Prescott Middle School showed the district’s clearest year-over-year gains: math rose to 36% and ELA to 32%. Even so, middle school ELA remains well below the state, with eighth grade particularly concerning, and math falls sharply in seventh and eighth grades. These results suggest that maintaining achievement as students move from elementary into middle school should be a priority.
Prescott High School has the smallest enrollment, lowest student-teacher ratio, and highest spending per student. Its current science proficiency, at 41.18%, is above the district average, while its current ELA and math results are suppressed and therefore unknown—not zero or evidence of poor performance. Middle and high school rankings have improved substantially in recent years, although both remain below the statewide midpoint. Families should view the district as one with encouraging secondary-school improvement, strong elementary math, and important needs in elementary science, middle school ELA, and upper-grade math. Because cohorts are small, yearly percentages can change significantly with only a few students.
