Summary

Liberty Bell Junior Senior High is a public school serving 356 students in grades 6–12 in the small town of Winthrop, Washington, as part of the Methow Valley School District. The school’s 2025–26 results are notably strong: it ranked 33rd out of 396 Washington schools, placing it in the 92nd percentile and earning five stars. This is a substantial improvement from 188th place and the 57th percentile the previous year. Rankings can shift as tested grades, student groups, and the number of schools change, but the latest results show strong current momentum.

Academically, the school performed above Washington averages in all three reported subjects. ELA proficiency was 65.74%, compared with 52.81% statewide; math was 48.39% versus 43.11%; and science was 58.95% versus 50.95%. ELA is the most consistent strength, exceeding the state average in every reported grade. Tenth grade stood out particularly, with 75% proficiency in ELA and 64.10% in math, compared with 64.41% and 35.42% statewide. Math improved by nearly 10 percentage points from the prior year, although middle-grade results remain closer to state averages. Science is also above the state rate but has fluctuated, falling from 68.24% in 2023–24 to 58.95% in 2025–26.

The nearby Methow Valley Independent Learning Center, about 6.22 miles away in Twisp, offers a different comparison: it serves grades 9–12, enrolls only 35 students, and uses an alternative learning model. Its ELA and math results are suppressed for 2025–26 and should be treated as unavailable, while its science proficiency was 40%, below Liberty Bell’s rate. Liberty Bell’s student-teacher ratio was 16.7 in 2024–25, higher than the center’s 9, though the small school size makes that comparison imperfect. Parents may also want to note that low-income students—about 39.61% of enrollment—remain an area for improvement, even as that subgroup’s effectiveness ranking has risen over time.
