Summary

Stratton Elementary is a public elementary school serving about 400 students from Pre-K through 4th grade in the rural community of Newport, WA, as part of the Newport School District.

Academically, the school's test scores in English and Math are generally below the state average but have shown a significant and promising improvement recently, moving from a low ranking a few years ago to a more average state ranking for the 2024-2025 school year. A notable strength is the school's effectiveness in supporting students from low-income families, where its performance is closer to the state average. The school operates with a low student-to-teacher ratio of about 12.5 to 1, which often means more individual attention in smaller classes, and it spends approximately $18,970 per student.

When compared to a nearby school like Bess Herian Elementary in the Cusick School District, Stratton has a lower student-teacher ratio, but Bess Herian spends significantly more per student and currently has higher proficiency rates in both core subjects. Both schools serve communities with high economic need. Within Stratton, there is an interesting gap between grade levels, with 4th graders performing notably stronger in English than 3rd graders, suggesting students make substantial progress during their time at the school.
