P C Jantz Elementary

P C Jantz Elementary is a small public school in Odessa, Washington, serving 121 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade as part of the Odessa School District. Its latest overall ranking is 676th of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 41st percentile with a two-star rating. The school’s student-teacher ratio improved to 13.0 in 2024–25, and per-student spending was $22,575 in 2023–24.

The school’s clearest current strength is math. In 2025–26, 45.59% of students met standards in math, slightly above both the district’s 42.48% and the state’s 43.11%. Math improved substantially from 35.94% the previous year. However, results varied considerably by grade: fourth-grade math proficiency was 50%, while fifth grade was 28.57% and sixth grade was 26.32%; third-grade math was suppressed by the state and is unknown. ELA proficiency was 47.06%, slightly above the district but below the state’s 52.81%. Reported fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade ELA results were also below statewide comparisons. Science improved to 42.86%, matching the district but remaining below the state’s 50.95%.

For families, the recent gains in math and science are encouraging, but the school’s overall ranking has declined from the 65th percentile in 2022–23 to the 41st percentile in 2025–26. The main academic priorities appear to be strengthening upper-grade math, improving grades four through six ELA, and sustaining science progress. Because enrollment is small, yearly percentages can change noticeably when only a few students’ results shift, so multi-year patterns are more useful than a single score. No other schools are listed within 20 miles, so a direct nearby-school comparison is not available; the most useful comparisons are with district and statewide results.
