Summary

Pateros Elementary is a small public school in the rural Washington community of Pateros, serving 118 students in kindergarten through sixth grade through the Pateros School District. Its small size and K–6 grade span give it a different profile from nearby schools, which generally serve more students and end at fifth grade.

Pateros stands out locally for its overall performance. In 2025–26, it ranked in the 62nd percentile among Washington schools, ahead of nearby Manson Elementary at the 52nd percentile and well ahead of the other comparison schools. Pateros also had the area’s strongest English Language Arts result, with 42.86% of students proficient, essentially matching Manson and exceeding the other nearby schools. Math proficiency was 35.48%, second only to Manson’s 53.39%, and remained well above the district’s 26.19%. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 14.9, more favorable than the ratios at Manson and several other nearby schools. Per-student spending was $20,351, the highest among the comparison schools, although higher spending alone does not show what caused the stronger results.

There are also areas to monitor. Math declined from 48.48% in 2024–25 to 35.48% in 2025–26, and third-grade math proficiency was 28.57%, compared with 53.20% statewide. Fourth grade was a bright spot, exceeding state averages in both ELA and math. The latest all-grades science result and fifth-grade results are suppressed, so those outcomes are unknown rather than zero. Pateros serves a substantial economically disadvantaged population, with 65.25% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, the school’s recent ranking improvement, strong local standing, and consistent advantage over its district in math are encouraging, while its small enrollment means annual percentages can shift noticeably from one cohort to the next.
