Summary:
White Pass School District contains a single elementary school, White Pass Elementary School, serving about 205 students in grades K-6 in a rural area of Washington state.
As the only elementary option in the White Pass School District, this school shows notable strengths in 5th-grade math and science, where student proficiency rates are competitive with or exceed state averages. However, overall academic performance is below state averages, with English Language Arts showing the largest gap, and there is a significant drop in math scores in 6th grade compared to the stronger 5th-grade results. The school serves a community with high economic need, with nearly 64% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, but it is supported by higher-than-typical per-student spending.
The school's statewide ranking has seen a slight decline recently, moving from the 34th percentile to the 28th percentile, indicating that while its performance has been relatively stable, other schools across Washington are improving at a faster pace. For parents, this means the school has dedicated resources and specific grade-level strengths, particularly in upper elementary math and science, but faces consistent challenges in elevating overall proficiency, especially in reading and writing, across all grades.
