The school ranked 441st out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 61st percentile and earning three out of five stars. This was a notable improvement from 761st place and the 34th percentile the previous year. The district ranked 108th out of 238 statewide, or approximately the 55th percentile.

That was the highest reported science result among nearby comparison schools. Math is another relative strength, with 49.12% proficiency—above both the state’s 43.11% and the district’s 35.29%. Fifth-grade math was particularly strong at 54.35%, although third- and fourth-grade math results remained below state averages.

English language arts is the clearest area for improvement. Kittitas’ 45.61% proficiency rate was below the state, district, and all nearby schools with reported results, including Ida Nason Aronica and Valley View.
