Summary

P C Jantz Elementary is a small, rural public school in Odessa, WA, serving about 121 students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade within the Odessa School District.

Academically, the school's test scores are currently below the state average in English, math, and science, with science being a particular area for improvement. However, the school has shown it can perform well, having earned higher ratings in recent years, and it has specific strengths like 5th grade English and 6th grade math that outperform the state. With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 13-to-1 and very high spending per student, the school has significant resources that could support academic growth.

The school's performance has varied from year to year, and it faces the specific challenge of improving science scores, which are lower than both the state and district averages. As a small, isolated community school, P C Jantz Elementary is the primary educational option for local families, and its recent improvements in staffing ratios create a favorable environment for addressing these academic focus areas.
