Summary

Selah Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 with 806 students in the Selah School District.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with test scores in English, Math, and Science consistently below state averages and a state ranking that has declined to the 21st percentile. A particularly critical area of concern is the school's effectiveness with Special Education students, where it ranks in the bottom 4% of schools statewide. While the school's per-student spending is moderate and its class sizes are typical for the area, these resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes, especially as students progress from 3rd to 5th grade.

Interesting comparisons with nearby schools highlight that different outcomes are possible with similar student populations. For instance, Summitview Elementary in a neighboring district serves a comparable community but achieves significantly higher rankings. Within its own district, early-grade schools like John Campbell Primary School benefit from more resources per student, suggesting a need for stronger academic continuity into the intermediate grades at Selah Intermediate.

Their 3rd grade special education class is abusive, children on a daily basis are brought to tears. Teacher fails to follow IEP program. Principal fails to attend IEP scheduled meetings along with school counselor. Only teacher who shows compassion is the behavioral appointed teacher. Very scary. Close Quote
