Summary

Almira Elementary School is a small rural school in Almira, Washington, serving 129 students in grades K–8. It is part of the Almira School District, which ranks in the 87th percentile statewide. The school’s broad grade span is important when comparing results because nearby schools often serve only elementary grades. Almira has a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 10.7 to 1, and 40.31% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025.

Academically, Almira had the strongest current results among the nearby comparison schools. In 2025–2026, 60.95% of students met standards in English language arts and 52.88% met standards in math—both above Washington averages of 52.81% and 43.11%. Almira also outperformed Creston Elementary, Coulee City Elementary, Wilbur Elementary School, and Lake Roosevelt Elementary in both subjects. Middle-grade math was a particular strength: grade 6 proficiency was 53.57% and grade 7 proficiency was 61.29%, compared with 39.79% and 41.31% statewide. Almira’s 2023–2024 per-student spending was $31,406, higher than most nearby schools, though below Creston’s $44,821.

There are also trends for families to watch. Results declined from 2024–2025, with ELA falling 4.54 points and math falling 14.66 points, although both remained above state averages. Grade 4 math was weaker at 33.33%, compared with 49.54% statewide. Science performance for 2025–2026 is suppressed, so it cannot be evaluated. Because Almira and its neighboring schools have small enrollments, yearly percentages can change noticeably when only a few students’ results shift. Even with that caution, Almira currently offers a strong academic profile, small-school setting, and better results than similarly sized Wilbur, while its recent math decline deserves continued attention.
