Summary

Nine Mile Falls Elementary is a small public K–5 school in the Nine Mile Falls area of eastern Washington, serving 136 students in the high-performing Nine Mile Falls School District. The district ranks in the 90th percentile statewide, while the school ranks in the 73rd percentile among Washington elementary schools and has a four-star rating. About 29.41% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, a lower share than at most nearby comparison schools.

Academically, the school performs above Washington averages in all three reported subjects. In 2025–26, proficiency was 63.38% in English language arts, 54.93% in math, and 51.85% in science. ELA is a particular strength: the school had the second-highest ELA result among the listed nearby schools, behind only Skyline Elementary. Its 5th-grade ELA result was especially strong at 66.67%, while 3rd-grade ELA was weaker at 47.83%. Math was above the state in every tested grade, although it trails stronger local performers such as Skyline, Prairie View Elementary, and Balboa Elementary.

The clearest improvement opportunity is science. The school’s 51.85% proficiency rate was well below both the district’s 61.90% and nearby Lake Spokane Elementary at 66.23%; science has also fluctuated sharply in recent years. Lake Spokane was nearly identical in ELA and somewhat stronger in math, making it a useful within-district comparison. Nine Mile Falls rebounded from the 51st percentile in 2024–25 to the 73rd percentile in 2025–26. Overall, it is a solid, above-average small school with strong ELA, dependable math results, and science and 3rd-grade literacy as the main areas to watch.
