Summary

Selkirk Middle School is a small public school in rural Ione, Washington, serving 52 students in grades 6–8, with an 11.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25. It is part of the Selkirk School District, which ranked 138th out of 238 Washington districts. The school ranked 254th out of 514 Washington middle schools in 2025–26, placing it near the middle of the state. Because there are no other schools within 20 miles, direct nearby-school comparisons are not available.

Academic results are mixed by subject. In 2025–26, 57.78% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 53.85% in science, both above the statewide rates of 52.81% and 50.95%. Math was the main concern: 26.67% were proficient, compared with 43.11% statewide. Math performance was below the state in sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, although the gap narrowed somewhat by eighth grade. The latest math result also fell sharply from 56.86% the previous year, helping explain the school’s ranking decline from the 77th percentile to the 51st percentile. Results can shift noticeably from year to year because only 52 students attend the school.

The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 71.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Despite this, its low socioeconomic-status subgroup ranked in the 90th percentile statewide in 2024–25, following rankings as high as the 98th percentile. This is one of the school’s strongest indicators of effectiveness. Small classes may support individualized attention, while per-student spending increased to $20,722 in 2023–24. Overall, the school’s clearest strengths are its support for economically disadvantaged students and its recent ELA and science performance; restoring math achievement is the most important improvement priority.
