Summary:
The Skamania School District has one listed elementary school, Skamania Elementary, a small K–8 school serving 108 students in Stevenson, Washington. Because it is the only elementary school in the district, families cannot compare it with other local schools, but the available results show a school performing above Washington averages overall and improving in statewide rankings.
Skamania Elementary’s strongest area is English language arts, with 64.94% of students proficient in 2025–2026 compared with 52.81% statewide. Science was also strong at 58.62%, exceeding the state rate of 50.95%, while math was slightly above average at 45.45% compared with 43.11%. Third-grade math was an especially notable result, with 82.35% proficiency versus 53.20% statewide. However, fourth- and fifth-grade math results were below state averages, suggesting that math performance is not equally consistent across grades. Several other grade-level results were suppressed for privacy, so they cannot be interpreted as either strong or weak.
The school’s overall direction is encouraging. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA increased by 9.56 percentage points, math by 3.91 points, and science by 18.62 points. Its statewide ranking improved from the 43rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 68th percentile in 2025–2026, and its rating rose from two stars to three. The 15.3 student-teacher ratio may support individualized attention in this small K–8 setting. Nearly half of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, and per-student spending was $22,302, though these figures require additional context before drawing conclusions. Overall, the school appears to offer strong literacy and science performance, positive momentum, and a supportive small-school environment, with math consistency being the main area for parents to monitor.
