Summary:
Republic Elementary School is the only elementary school in the Republic School District, serving kindergarten through fifth grade in the small community of Republic, Washington. The school enrolls 152 students and has a student–teacher ratio of 13.5 to 1. With no other elementary schools in the district, families cannot compare schools locally; the most useful comparisons are with district and statewide results. About 67.76% of students participated in free or reduced-price lunch programs in 2024–2025, and reported per-student spending was $20,432 in 2023–2024.
In 2025–2026, academic proficiency at Republic Elementary School was below both district and Washington averages in every reported subject. English Language Arts was the school’s strongest of the two core subjects, with 26.92% of students proficient, compared with 37.37% districtwide and 52.81% statewide. Mathematics was the weakest area, at 15.38%, compared with 17.86% in the district and 43.11% statewide. Science was the school’s strongest overall subject at 31.03%; this was close to the district’s 33.33%, but below the statewide rate of 50.95%. Fourth grade had the highest reported proficiency in both English Language Arts and mathematics. Fifth-grade English Language Arts was a particular concern, with 20.69% proficiency versus 53.87% statewide. The fifth-grade mathematics result was suppressed and should be treated as unavailable, not as zero.
Results declined from the previous year in all three subjects at Republic Elementary School: English Language Arts fell 9.33 percentage points, mathematics fell 8.98 points, and science fell 4.68 points. The school’s statewide ranking also weakened, moving from the 30th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 11th percentile in 2025–2026. For parents, the main takeaways are that mathematics needs the most attention, English Language Arts shows a notable gap from district performance, and science is a relative strength despite remaining below state levels. Because enrollment is small, annual results may change noticeably as student groups change from year to year.
