Summary

Vale Elementary School serves 638 students in prekindergarten through fourth grade in Cashmere, Washington, a small community near Leavenworth and Wenatchee. It is part of the highly rated Cashmere School District, which ranks 8th out of 238 Washington districts and falls in the state’s 97th percentile. Vale ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide and earned four stars for 2025–2026, making it one of the stronger elementary schools in the surrounding area.

Academic results are a major strength. In 2025–2026, 69.17% of students were proficient in English language arts and 65.22% in math—well above Washington averages of 52.81% and 43.11%. Vale led nearby schools with comparable all-grade results, including Alpine Lakes Elementary, Cascade Elementary, and Sunnyslope Elementary School. Fourth-grade performance was especially impressive: 76.98% were proficient in ELA and 72.66% in math. However, third-grade results were lower, at 59.65% in ELA and 56.14% in math, suggesting a useful area for the school to examine. Vale’s results declined from the prior year, but they remain strong overall.

Vale also shows strong effectiveness for students receiving special education services and for students from low-income households. English language learner effectiveness, while above average statewide, was comparatively weaker and may be an important focus for additional language and literacy support. The school’s student-teacher ratio increased to 16.9, alongside a rise in reported free- or reduced-price lunch participation to 52.04%. Even with these changes, Vale produced stronger results than most nearby schools and did so with moderate per-student spending of $16,267. For families comparing local options, Vale stands out for high achievement, a strong district, excellent fourth-grade outcomes, and consistently above-state performance.
