Summary

Ida Nason Aronica Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 361 students in the Ellensburg School District, and it currently faces significant academic challenges, ranking lower than other elementary schools in the district.

The school's overall academic performance, particularly in science, is below both district and state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years. It serves a student population with a high rate of economic need, and it operates with the lowest per-student spending among the district's elementary schools, such as Lincoln Elementary and Valley View Elementary School, which have higher spending and higher rankings. Performance can vary significantly from year to year and across different grade levels within the school.

While the school struggles overall, it has shown historical strength in supporting specific groups of students, indicating it has effective practices that could be expanded. Compared to nearby schools like Kittitas Elementary School and the exceptionally high-performing, small Damman Elementary, Ida Nason Aronica's results highlight the impact of different resources and approaches. The school represents a key area for potential district focus on equitable support and targeted academic interventions.
