These results exceeded the district averages by 7.39, 16.41, and 8.79 percentage points, respectively, and were far above Washington averages. Math is the clearest strength: performance stayed between 81.65% and 82.67% across grades 3–5, suggesting consistently strong results rather than an isolated standout grade. Science was the strongest subject overall, although nearby Dorothy Fox had a higher science proficiency rate of 91.76%.

The school’s 17.2:1 student-teacher ratio is somewhat higher than nearby Camas schools, but its results remain the strongest.

Open Quote The secretaries and the staff in general are nice. How do I start? My daughter was the most popular girl in Kindergarten in another school. .We moved to the area on first grade she went to Grass Valley, she became aggressive and refusing to go to school. She told me there were bullies in this school. I talked to her teacher and principal to suggest some changes. Her Teacher changed her table to avoid a girl and the principal suggested a couselor for my daughter in 3 weeks nothing was done in terms of counseling My daughter started to have trouble sleeping, she had her 1st UTI because she did not want to go to the restroom at school ......My daughter is not a kind of a "trouble maker " what I mean is she was not aggressive at school or showing disruptive behavior at school . In the middle of her 1st grade I decided to do a drastic change . I decided to change her school against all school advise and now she is super happy in another school with new friends, loves to go to school again,she does not even talk about Grass Valley anymore. For my surprise she does not miss anything. The best thing I did for her. I think academically is a good school but socially is not. Another point is how they handle problems is very ineffective and frustrating Close Quote
