Republic School District

Republic School District serves about 540 students in four schools covering kindergarten through grade 12: the alternative K–12 Republic Parent Partner, Republic Elementary School, Republic Middle School, and Republic Senior High School. Overall, the district ranks below most Washington districts, so families should consider both school-level strengths and areas needing improvement.

Republic Senior High School has the strongest current academic results, particularly in English Language Arts, where 65.71% of students are proficient—above the state rate of 52.81%. Its graduation rate is 82%, close to the state’s 82.6%. Math and science are much weaker, however, with proficiency below 27%. Republic Middle School has the district’s best current science result at 39.39%, and 7th-grade ELA is slightly above the state rate. Its 8th-grade math result is a concern. Republic Elementary School has the lowest current results among the conventional schools, with ELA, math, and science all well below state averages.

Math is the clearest district-wide challenge, with low proficiency at every conventional school and substantial year-over-year declines. Elementary performance has also declined across ELA, math, and science, making early literacy and numeracy important priorities. The high school’s strong ELA performance may offer practices worth sharing across grade levels. Republic Parent Partner reported strong 2024–2025 ELA and science results, but its current school-level scores are suppressed. Because it is an alternative K–12 program with a different structure and student population, parents should evaluate it separately rather than compare it directly with the other schools.
