Selah Intermediate School has the most complete academic information and is the largest school, with 806 students. Its ranking improved from the 21st percentile to the 32nd percentile, earning two stars in 2025–2026. Math is its strongest comparative subject: 39.64% of students were proficient, 8.73 percentage points above the district average and only 3.47 points below the state rate. Science also exceeded the district average, while ELA was nearly identical to the district. Math improved the most year over year, although fourth-grade ELA, at 29.23%, is a notable area for improvement.

John Campbell Primary School stands out for its lowest reported student-teacher ratio, 12.6 students per teacher. Robert Lince Early Learning Center reports the highest spending per student, $22,025, but also serves younger children, making direct comparisons difficult. About 57%–62% of students across the schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating consistent economic need throughout the area. Selah K-8 Online is the smallest program, with 33 students; its current test results are suppressed because of its small enrollment and should be treated as unavailable, not as zero.
