Summary:
St. John School District serves one elementary school, St John Elementary, in Saint John, Washington, offering prekindergarten through Grade 5 in a small-school setting. The school enrolls 85 students and reports an 11.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio, which may allow for relatively small instructional groups and close relationships between students and staff. The district is ranked 75th out of 238 Washington districts, placing it in the 68th percentile in the supplied data.
St John Elementary shows particularly strong recent academic results. In 2025–2026, 69.23% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 71.79% were proficient in math. Those results were well above Washington averages of 52.81% in ELA and 43.11% in math. Math was the clearest strength, exceeding the district average by more than 13 percentage points and the state average by nearly 29 points. The school also improved substantially from the prior year, with ELA proficiency rising nearly 13 points and math increasing more than 9 points. Its reported four-star rating and 71st-percentile statewide school ranking further support its strong overall profile.
Parents should also consider the limits of the available data. Grade 3 and Grade 4 math results were above the state averages, but Grade 4 ELA proficiency was 46.15%, slightly below the state’s 50.43%, suggesting that performance can vary by grade. Several results, including Grade 3 and Grade 5 ELA and Grade 5 math and science, were suppressed to protect student privacy, so they cannot be judged as either strong or weak. The school reports 36.47% free- or reduced-price lunch participation and $25,801 in per-student spending; spending may be influenced by the costs of operating a very small school. Overall, St John Elementary appears to be a high-performing small elementary school, especially in math, within the St. John School District.
