E Omak Elementary

E Omak Elementary is a public school in Omak, Washington, serving 327 students in grades 3–5 within the Omak School District. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 77.68% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its student-teacher ratio is 14.5, and its latest statewide ranking places it at the 30th percentile—an improvement from the 11th–18th percentile range reported during most years from 2015–16 through 2022–23. This is notably stronger than the district’s 15th-percentile ranking.

E Omak’s 2025–26 results were above district averages in all three tested subjects: 39.53% of students were proficient in English language arts, 32.94% in math, and 49.53% in science. Science is the clearest bright spot, rising from 26.50% in 2022–23 to nearly the statewide rate in 2025–26. Math remains a challenge, particularly in fourth grade, where 27.48% of students were proficient. ELA has stayed fairly steady near 40% and remains below the state average. Compared with Washington Virtual Academy Omak Elementary, E Omak performed better in every tested subject, especially math and science. However, the virtual school serves a different instructional model, so staffing and spending comparisons should be interpreted carefully.

Grainger Elementary is the stronger nearby academic comparison, leading E Omak by about five points in ELA and math and less than two points in science. Grainger also serves a somewhat less economically disadvantaged population. E Omak’s most urgent concern is special education effectiveness, which ranked at the 0th percentile statewide in 2025–26 after similarly low results in the two prior years. The school may also want to examine the sizable difference between female and male subgroup rankings. Overall, E Omak appears to be a relatively stronger school within a low-ranked district, with encouraging science progress but continued needs in math, ELA, and specialized student supports.
