of 1,138 Washington Elementary Schools

Better than 21% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Valley School is a small public K–8 school serving 166 students in Valley, Washington, a small community in the northeastern part of the state. It is part of the Valley School District, which ranks at the 56th percentile statewide, while the school itself ranks at the 21st percentile.

Academic results are the main concern. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 33.02% in English language arts, 18.87% in math, and 44.44% in science, compared with Washington averages of 52.81%, 43.11%, and 50.95%. Math is the clearest area for improvement, while science has shown encouraging progress, rising from about 33% in 2022–2023 to 44.44%. Results vary by grade: sixth-grade ELA reached 55.56%, and eighth-grade math reached 40%, but most tested grades were well below state levels. Some results, including eighth-grade ELA and science and fifth-grade math, were suppressed, meaning the figures are unknown rather than zero.

The most useful comparison is nearby Columbia Virtual Academy, which serves the same K–8 grades in the same district. It had much higher proficiency—59.69% in ELA, 47.12% in math, and 57.58% in science—despite Valley having a much lower student-teacher ratio, 9.8 to 1 versus 28.9 to 1, and higher spending per student. Valley serves a higher-need population, with 61.45% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which provides important context for comparisons. Still, its results also trail several nearby schools, including Arcadia Elementary and Gess Elementary. Small grade cohorts can cause year-to-year fluctuations, but the data point to sustained needs in math and elementary literacy.
