Summary

Almira Elementary School is a high-performing K-8 public school serving 129 students in the rural community of Almira, Washington, and is part of the highly-rated Almira School District.

Academically, the school consistently outperforms state averages, with about two-thirds of students proficient in English, Math, and Science. Its math program is particularly strong in the middle grades. While the school's statewide ranking dipped slightly this year, it has shown remarkable stability compared to nearby schools like Coulee City Elementary and Lake Roosevelt Elementary, which have seen much larger swings in performance from year to year. With a student-teacher ratio of about 11 to 1, the school maintains favorable learning conditions.

The school benefits from the strong foundation of its 5-star district. Compared to other area schools, Almira Elementary achieves its strong results while serving a student population with a moderate level of economic need and with mid-range per-student spending, suggesting efficient use of resources. However, families should note that performance in early elementary grades, like 3rd grade math, is closer to the state average, indicating a potential area for focus to ensure all students excel from the start.
