Summary

Paul Rumburg Elementary is a small PK–5 school in Entiat, Washington, serving 231 students in a rural, north-central Washington community. The school has a 15.2:1 student–teacher ratio and serves a relatively high-need population, with 70.13% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. It is part of the Entiat School District, which ranks at the 54th percentile statewide, but the school itself ranks at the 18th percentile among Washington elementary schools.

Academic results are the school’s biggest concern. In 2025–26, 27.27% of students were proficient in English language arts, 32.41% in math, and 31.25% in science—below Washington rates of 52.81%, 43.11%, and 50.95%, respectively. Third-grade ELA was particularly weak at 19.44%, while fifth-grade math was the clearest grade-level problem at 16.13%. Fourth-grade math was a relative bright spot at 46.34%, suggesting that some classroom practices may be worth studying and extending. The school’s ranking has remained low for several years, generally between the 10th and 28th percentiles, indicating an ongoing challenge rather than a single difficult year.

Nearby schools show that stronger results are possible in the region, although differences in size and student needs make direct comparisons imperfect. Orondo Elementary and Middle School, only 1.67 miles away and serving a higher 83.06% free/reduced-price-lunch population, posted stronger ELA and science results than Paul Rumburg and nearly identical math results. Manson Elementary also had stronger math performance, while Vale Elementary School, Sunnyslope Elementary School, and Cascade Elementary ranked substantially higher overall. With reasonable staffing and moderate per-student spending, the data point toward a need for focused improvement in foundational literacy, fifth-grade math, and science instruction.
