For parents comparing the schools, Naches Valley Elementary School is the clear mathematics standout. Its 2025–2026 math proficiency rate was 59.81%, well above the state rate of 43.11%, although its ELA rate was lower than the state average. Naches Valley Middle School has the greatest academic challenges: ELA, math, and science results were all below state averages, with math proficiency at 25.46%. Its seventh-grade ELA result was comparatively encouraging at 52.53%, but math performance was weak in every grade. The middle school also has the highest student-teacher ratio, at 19.1 students per teacher.

Naches Valley High School has the strongest graduation and ELA results. Its 92% graduation rate was above the state rate, and its latest ELA proficiency of 59.26% exceeded the state average. Science performance was also stronger than the district average, while math remained a major weakness at 26.25%. High-school ELA and math declined notably from the prior year, so those results merit monitoring. Overall, the most important pattern is the sharp drop from strong elementary math performance to much weaker secondary math results, making math continuity and middle-school support key areas for families and the district to watch.
