Summary

Grainger Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 404 students in the rural Okanogan School District, where it consistently performs as a mid-tier school within the state.

When compared to nearby schools in the Omak School District, such as E Omak Elementary and N Omak Elementary, Grainger generally achieves higher academic proficiency in English, math, and science, despite having a lower percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. It also operates with a much lower student-teacher ratio than the Washington Virtual Academy Omak Elementary, which has significantly lower test scores. Notably, Grainger's fourth graders perform exceptionally well, often exceeding state averages, while its fifth-grade math scores are a notable area for improvement.

The school shows particular strength in educating its female students, who perform around the state average, but there is a significant and persistent performance gap for male students. A concerning trend is a sharp recent decline in outcomes for students in special education, which contrasts with the school's otherwise stable performance. Overall, Grainger utilizes its resources efficiently, achieving comparable or better results than some neighboring schools while spending less per student.
