Summary

Mt. Stuart Elementary is a public K–5 school in Ellensburg, Washington, serving 336 students in the Ellensburg School District community.

Mt. Stuart’s current academic results are mixed. For 2025–2026, the school ranked 873rd out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 23rd percentile and earning a one-star rating. This is notably below nearby schools in the same district: Ida Nason Aronica Elementary ranked in the 63rd percentile, Valley View Elementary School in the 62nd, and Lincoln Elementary in the 51st. Mt. Stuart’s recent proficiency rates improved in all three tested subjects, but its statewide ranking still declined relative to other schools. English language arts is the clearest challenge: 46.3% of students were proficient, compared with 51.2% districtwide and 52.81% statewide. Math was a relative strength at 45.06%, slightly above both district and state results.

Results vary substantially by grade. Third-grade ELA and math were the weakest areas, at 30.19% and 40.38%, while fourth grade was much stronger, with 60.71% proficiency in ELA and 57.14% in math. Science is another positive: 55.56% proficiency exceeded both the district and state averages and was comparable to nearby schools. The school also reported a favorable 13.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio, the lowest among the main nearby comparisons. However, its low-socioeconomic-status subgroup effectiveness rank was in the 25th percentile, indicating an important area for support. Overall, parents may see a school with strong science, improving test results, and favorable staffing levels, but with a need for more consistent outcomes—especially in third grade and English language arts.
