Summary

Fort Colville Elementary is a public school serving 355 students in grades 3-5 in the Colville School District, operating as the upper elementary school where students attend after completing K-2 at Hofstetter Elementary.

Academically, the school performs above the state average in all tested subjects, which is a notable achievement given that a significant majority of its students face economic challenges. A key strength is its exceptional effectiveness with Hispanic students, ranking in the top tier of schools statewide for serving this group. However, the school faces a specific challenge in 5th-grade math, where proficiency dips below the state average, even while science scores in the same grade remain strong.

Compared to other schools in the area, Fort Colville stands out for delivering strong academic results efficiently. For instance, while Evergreen School spends more per student for slightly lower scores, and Onion Creek Elementary spends significantly more for much lower proficiency, Fort Colville maintains above-average outcomes at a moderate cost. The main area for improvement is in services for Special Education students, where performance has declined in recent years.
