Summary:

The Ritzville School District is a small, rural district in Washington with three schools serving about 415 students from Pre-K through 12th grade, featuring a notable performance gap between its schools.

Ritzville Grade School is the district's standout, consistently earning strong ratings with above-state-average scores in all subjects, especially math and science. In contrast, Lind Ritzville Middle School faces significant challenges, with very low academic proficiency, a high student-teacher ratio, and dramatically lower per-student spending compared to the other schools. Ritzville High School shows a mixed picture, excelling in English and science but struggling with math and a recent decline in its statewide ranking.

Key takeaways for parents include the elementary school's consistent strength, the urgent need for improvement at the middle school level, and the high school's specific subject-area strengths and weaknesses. The district's overall graduation rate is below the state average, but the elementary school demonstrates that high achievement is possible even with a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
