Summary

Paul Rumburg Elementary is a small public school serving about 230 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the rural community of Entiat, Washington, which is part of the Entiat School District.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with student proficiency in English, Math, and Science consistently below the state average, resulting in a low statewide ranking. The school serves a community with high economic need, with about 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's per-student spending is in the mid-range compared to nearby schools, its academic results are generally lower than many of its peers. For instance, Vale Elementary School in the Cashmere School District achieves much higher proficiency rates with slightly less funding per student.

Performance varies considerably between different grade levels and student groups within the school, suggesting there may be opportunities to improve the consistency of teaching and learning. It's noteworthy that other schools in the region with similar high-need student populations, such as Waterville Elementary and Cascade Elementary, achieve stronger academic outcomes, demonstrating that local leadership and instructional practices can make a substantial difference beyond funding and demographics alone.
