Summary

Morris Schott Elementary is a public school in Mattawa, Washington, serving 317 students in grades 4–5 as part of the Wahluke School District, near other district schools serving younger students.

The school serves a community with substantial economic need: 92.43% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. The student-teacher ratio was 18:1, higher than in the two previous years, while per-student spending was $23,413 in 2023–24—higher than at nearby Mattawa Elementary and Red Rock Elementary, though slightly below Saddle Mountain Elementary. Statewide performance remains low: the school ranked in approximately the 4th percentile in 2025–26, while the Wahluke School District ranked approximately in the 3rd percentile.

Academic results were below Washington averages in every tested subject. Proficiency was 16.46% in English language arts, 15.84% in math, and 10.69% in science. Math was nearly identical to the district average, making it the school’s strongest subject relative to its local context, although fifth-grade math was weaker than fourth-grade math. Science showed the sharpest recent decline, falling from 23.40% to 10.69%. The school outperformed Saddle Mountain Elementary in the available ELA and math comparisons, but it trailed Red Rock Elementary by wide margins, especially in math. Because these schools serve different grades and communities, comparisons should be viewed as context rather than direct equivalencies. Overall, the broad weakness across student groups points to a need for schoolwide improvement in core instruction, interventions, progress monitoring, and science.
