Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 98926 include 10 schools serving students in grades K–12 in and around Ellensburg, with about 3,413 students overall. Most are part of the Ellensburg School District, while Damman School District and Kittitas School District operate one school each. The area offers traditional elementary, middle, and high schools as well as alternative and specialized programs. Overall, the Ellensburg district ranks around the 63rd percentile statewide, though results vary considerably by school and grade.

Ellensburg High School stands out as the strongest overall option, ranking in the 79th percentile among Washington high schools. It has a 90.6% graduation rate, a 6.1% dropout rate, and above-state proficiency in English language arts and science. Among elementary schools, Ida Nason Aronica Elementary has shown the largest recent improvement and currently exceeds state averages in English, math, and science. Valley View Elementary School has the strongest current math performance among the larger traditional elementary schools, while Lincoln Elementary leads those schools in science. Mt. Stuart Elementary has promising math and science results but lower overall rankings and weaker English performance.

Morgan Middle School has improved substantially, particularly in science, but remains below state averages in English, math, and science; eighth-grade math is its clearest concern. Across the larger elementary schools, fifth-grade math is a common weakness, making the transition to middle school an important area to watch. Damman Elementary reports strong math results, but its small enrollment makes percentages less stable. Ellensburg Choice Schools, Ellensburg Open Doors, and Parke Creek Treatment Center serve specialized populations, so their outcomes should not be compared directly with traditional schools. Parents comparing options should consider both current results and recent trends, especially Aronica’s gains, Valley View’s math strength, and Morgan’s ongoing improvement needs.
