Summary

Orondo Elementary and Middle School is a small, rural public school in Orondo, WA, serving about 124 students from preschool through 8th grade within the Orondo School District.

The school is defined by its very high investment in each student, spending nearly $40,000 per pupil—more than double most nearby schools like John Newbery Elementary or Cascade Elementary. This supports a small school environment with a favorable student-teacher ratio. While the school's overall test scores are below the state average, it shows a clear and positive trend of improvement in recent years and demonstrates particular strength in supporting students from low-income families, outperforming many comparable schools. For instance, it achieves better results than Lewis And Clark Elementary School, which has a similar student population.

When considering Orondo, it's helpful to know the school serves a community with significant economic need, which provides important context for its academic journey. The school's small size is a double-edged sword, allowing for more individual attention but also contributing to the high per-student costs. Compared to other districts in the area, the Orondo School District itself is ranked relatively higher than the Wenatchee School District or Entiat School District. The data suggests Orondo is on an upward path, effectively leveraging its resources to support its students' growth.
