Summary

Wilbur Elementary School is a small public school in the rural community of Wilbur, Washington, serving 117 students in grades K–6 through the Wilbur School District. The school has a favorable 10.8:1 student-teacher ratio, and 43.59% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Wilbur ranks at the 37th percentile statewide, or 721st out of 1,138 Washington schools, and has a two-star SchoolDigger rating.

Current academic results are mixed. Science is the school’s relative strength: 46.15% of students were proficient, compared with 39.58% in the district, although the result remained below Washington’s 50.95%. ELA is the greatest concern, with 27.54% proficiency, while math stood at 33.33%. Third-grade math is a bright spot at 64.71%, above the state result, but fourth- and fifth-grade math results fell to 33.33% and 30.77%. ELA results have also declined from 41.67% in 2022–2023 to 27.54% in 2025–2026. Because enrollment and grade cohorts are small, yearly percentages can shift noticeably, and some sixth-grade results were suppressed rather than reported.

Compared with nearby schools, Wilbur currently performs better than Lake Roosevelt Elementary in ELA, math, and science, but trails Almira Elementary School and Creston Elementary in reported ELA and math results. Wilbur’s district ranking is also considerably stronger than the Grand Coulee Dam district serving Lake Roosevelt, though well below Almira’s district ranking. Overall, the school appears to have useful strengths in science and third-grade math, while sustained improvement in ELA and upper-elementary math is the clearest priority.
