Kamiak Elementary is a public elementary school in Pullman, Washington, serving 373 students in grades PK-5. As part of the highly-ranked Pullman School District, Kamiak consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with particularly strong performance in 5th-grade science. The school also serves a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic and African American students.
While Kamiak's test scores may not match the top-performing Sunnyside Elementary and Franklin Elementary, the school still ranks in the top 25% of Washington elementary schools and provides a strong educational experience. This is particularly impressive given that Kamiak has a relatively high percentage of students (50.67%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating it serves a more economically disadvantaged population. The school's higher per-student spending of $17,227 suggests it is effectively supporting its students from lower-income backgrounds.
Kamiak Elementary's consistent performance, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, is a testament to the school's dedication to its diverse student body. The school's strong subgroup performance, particularly for Hispanic and White students, as well as male and female students, further demonstrates its ability to meet the needs of all learners. While Kamiak may not be the highest-performing school in the area, it remains a strong choice for families in the Pullman School District.
