Summary

Skamania Elementary in rural Stevenson, Washington, is a small public school serving 108 students in grades K–8 through the Skamania School District. The school has made a notable recent improvement: it ranks 363rd out of 1,138 Washington schools, placing it in the 68th percentile, compared with the 43rd percentile in 2023–24. Its district ranks 48th out of 238 statewide, in the 80th percentile. About 46.3% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, so the school serves a moderately high-need population.

Academic results are currently above Washington averages in all three reported subjects. English language arts proficiency is 64.94%, compared with 52.81% statewide; math is 45.45%, compared with 43.11%; and science is 58.62%, compared with 50.95%. Skamania’s ELA result exceeds those of nearby Hathaway Elementary, Gause Elementary, Columbia River Gorge Elementary School, Cape Horn Skye Elementary, and Carson Elementary School, though it trails the higher-performing Camas schools, including Dorothy Fox, Helen Baller Elementary, and Woodburn Elementary. Because Skamania includes grades 6–8, comparisons with mostly K–5 schools should be viewed cautiously.

Math is the main area to monitor. Third-grade math is excellent at 82.35%, but fourth grade is 41.67% and fifth grade is 35%; several other grade-level results are suppressed. The school is very small, which can make results more sensitive to individual student cohorts, but its gains across multiple subjects are encouraging. Skamania’s student-teacher ratio is 15.3, up from 12.2 in 2022–23, and its per-student spending of $22,302 is higher than reported spending at nearby comparison schools, likely reflecting its small, rural K–8 structure.
