Summary

Manson Elementary is a public K–5 school serving 289 students in the small community of Manson, Washington, as part of the Manson School District. The school currently ranks in the 52nd percentile statewide and has a 3-star rating, placing it near the middle of Washington schools. Its recent direction is encouraging: it rose from the 24th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 52nd percentile in 2025–2026, following an earlier 3rd-percentile result in 2015–2016. About 60.9% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 16:1.

Mathematics is the school’s clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 53.39% of students were proficient in math, compared with 43.11% statewide and 39.39% districtwide. That was the highest all-grade math result among the nearby comparison schools, including Waterville Elementary, Pateros Elementary, and Orondo Elementary and Middle School. Third-grade math was especially strong at 73.53%, and fourth-grade math reached 59.52%. However, fifth-grade math fell to 30.95%, below the state average. ELA proficiency was 42.37%, below Washington’s 52.81% but generally competitive locally, while science was 42.86%, below both the district and state.

The school’s overall rank is second among the nearby comparison schools, behind Pateros, and ahead of Waterville, Orondo, Paul Rumburg Elementary, and Morgen Owings Elementary School. Recent gains also include stronger results for English learners, Hispanic students, and students from low-income households, although small student groups can produce year-to-year fluctuations. Overall, Manson appears to be an improving, mid-performing school with an unusually strong math foundation. Parents may want to ask how the school is addressing fifth-grade math, ELA, science, and the challenge of sustaining recent subgroup gains.
