Summary

Satus Elementary is a public school serving 298 students in grades 3-5 in the Wapato School District, operating in a high-need community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school's test scores are below the state average, it stands out as a relative success story within its struggling district. Satus Elementary significantly outperforms its closest district peer, Adams Elementary, which serves the same grades just a few blocks away, in English, math, and science. It also generally performs as well as or better than similar elementary schools in the neighboring Toppenish School District. The school has shown a clear trend of improvement in its statewide ranking over the last several years and demonstrates particular effectiveness in supporting English Language Learners and migrant students.

Important areas for parents to note include a significant performance gap between female and male students at the school, with boys scoring notably lower. Support for students in special education has also been identified as a key area needing improvement. The school invests more money per student than many nearby schools, which may contribute to its stronger performance within the local context. Overall, Satus Elementary is on an upward trajectory and performs better than most comparable schools in the area, though it continues to work toward meeting state academic standards.
