Summary

Kamiak Elementary is a public PK–5 school serving 315 students in Pullman, Washington, a college-oriented community in the well-regarded Pullman School District.

The district ranks 26th out of 238 Washington districts, but Kamiak’s latest ranking is lower: 556th out of 1,138 schools, at the 51st percentile. This is a notable drop from 300th and the 74th percentile in 2024–2025. Academically, 48.8% of students are proficient in English language arts, 50.6% in math, and 68.09% in science. Science is the school’s clearest strength, while ELA is the biggest concern. Kamiak is above the state average in math and science but slightly below it in ELA, and it trails the district in all three subjects. Results have declined since 2023–2024, particularly in ELA, which fell from 64.07% to 48.8%.

Fourth grade stands out as the most important area to investigate: only 37.5% of fourth graders were proficient in ELA and 42.19% in math, well below Kamiak’s third- and fifth-grade results. Nearby Sunnyside Elementary and Franklin Elementary substantially outperform Kamiak in ELA and math, while Jefferson Elementary has similar ELA results but lower math and science performance. Kamiak’s student-teacher ratio is favorable at 12.6, and its 54.29% economically disadvantaged-student rate is closer to Jefferson’s than to Sunnyside’s or Franklin’s. Overall, parents may see a school with a strong science foundation and relatively small classes, but one needing focused attention in fourth grade, literacy, math consistency, and support for economically disadvantaged students.
