Summary

Sharpstein Elementary School is a public K–5 school serving approximately 340 students in Walla Walla, Washington, within the Walla Walla Public Schools district. Located near other district schools such as Prospect Point Elementary, Green Park Elementary School, Edison Elementary School, and Berney Elementary School, it serves a relatively high-need population, with 78.53% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 and reported $21,530 in per-student spending. Its 2025–26 statewide ranking was at the 38th percentile.

The school’s academic profile is mixed, with mathematics and science standing out as strengths. In 2025–26, 43.21% of students were proficient in math, essentially matching the state and exceeding the district rate of 36.60%. Sharpstein ranked second among nearby Walla Walla schools, behind Prospect Point Elementary, and ahead of Berney Elementary School, Edison Elementary School, and Green Park Elementary School. Science was the school’s strongest subject at 52.94%, the highest among those nearby schools and above both the district and state. English language arts was weaker at 38.89%, below the district’s 44.16% and the state’s 52.81%. Third-grade reading and fifth-grade math are particular areas to watch.

For families, the clearest picture is of a school making progress but still working to build consistent results. Science proficiency has climbed from 35.82% in 2022–23 to 52.94% in 2025–26, while ELA has improved more modestly. Prospect Point Elementary is a useful local benchmark, with stronger ELA and math results but a lower economic-need rate; Sharpstein slightly leads it in science. Recent subgroup effectiveness was stronger for male students and students from low-income backgrounds, while results for female students and students receiving special education services were much weaker. Overall, the main priorities appear to be literacy—especially third grade—and targeted support for special education students, while maintaining the practices supporting math and science.
