Summary

Washington Elementary School is a public K–5 school in Wenatchee, Washington, serving 554 students in the Wenatchee School District, in a region with a wide range of elementary-school performance and student needs. The school ranks in the 55th percentile statewide, with a 16:1 student–teacher ratio and 56.68% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, it is a solid middle-to-upper-performing school locally: not one of the area’s top performers, but clearly stronger than several nearby schools.

Washington’s latest results are above the district average in every reported subject: 51.71% of students are proficient in English language arts, 44.49% in math, and 58.33% in science. Its science performance is a particular strength, exceeding the district by 16.62 percentage points and the state by 7.38 points. Washington also compares favorably with Kenroy Elementary, Mission View Elementary School, Abraham Lincoln Elementary, and Lewis And Clark Elementary School in all three subjects. However, it trails stronger nearby schools such as Sunnyslope Elementary School, Cascade Elementary, and John Newbery Elementary, especially in math.

Parents may want to watch the school’s uneven grade-level and subgroup patterns. Fourth-grade English language arts is a weakness at 41.94%, below both district and state results, while fifth-grade math falls to 36.90% despite the school remaining above the district overall. Math also declined from 50.84% in 2023–2024 to 44.49% in 2025–2026, although science rebounded strongly. Washington’s statewide ranking improved from the 50th percentile to the 55th percentile in the latest year but remains below its earlier 70th-percentile results. Subgroup effectiveness is strongest for special education students and weaker for Hispanic students and students from low-income households, suggesting that consistency across grades and student groups is an important improvement goal.
