Summary:
Selkirk School District serves 252 students in three small schools covering preschool through grade 12 in northeastern Washington, with Selkirk Elementary School in Metaline Falls and Selkirk Middle School and Selkirk High School sharing an address in Ione. The small school sizes may allow for relatively low student–teacher ratios, but they also mean that results can change noticeably when only a few students perform differently from one year to the next.
Selkirk High School is the district’s strongest overall performer. It ranked in the 84th percentile in 2024–25 and had especially strong mathematics results in 2025–26, with 57.14% of students proficient compared with 43.11% statewide. It also has the lowest student–teacher ratio, at 10.4, and the highest spending per student. Selkirk Middle School has notable strengths in English language arts and science: its all-student ELA proficiency was 57.78%, above the state’s 52.81%, and its science result was also above the state. However, mathematics is a major concern, with only 26.67% proficient compared with 43.11% statewide. Middle-school rankings also declined from the 77th percentile to the 51st percentile between the two most recent reported years.
Selkirk Elementary School has the greatest need for improvement overall. In 2025–26, its ELA, mathematics, and science proficiency rates were below state averages, and its ranking fell to the 31st percentile. Fourth grade is the clearest concern, with only 20% proficient in both ELA and mathematics, while third-grade ELA was a bright spot at 55.56%, above the state. For families comparing schools, the main districtwide priority is strengthening mathematics—especially in middle school—while investigating elementary ELA declines and preserving the high school’s strong mathematics performance. Some results are suppressed, so unavailable scores should not be interpreted as zero.
