Summary:
The six schools serving ZIP code 99114 cover prekindergarten through grade 12 and enroll about 1,782 students, with most students attending schools in the Colville School District in and around Colville. The area includes three elementary schools, one junior high, one high school, and one alternative school. The district ranks 57th of 238 Washington districts, placing it in the state’s 76th percentile. Schools vary significantly in size, from 45 students at Onion Creek Elementary to 506 at Colville Senior High School.
Colville Senior High School has the strongest overall traditional-school profile, with a 92% graduation rate, 65.49% ELA proficiency, strong science results, and a 69th-percentile statewide ranking. Math is its main weakness at 33.04%. Colville Junior High School stands out in science, with 62.60% proficiency, about 12 points above the state average, though sixth-grade math is especially weak. Fort Colville Elementary has the best overall math result among the conventional schools at 44.79%, slightly above the state average, but its third-grade math and ELA results need attention. Together, these schools show a generally solid district with mathematics as the most consistent academic challenge.
Onion Creek Elementary has above-state ELA performance and a very low 10-to-1 student-teacher ratio, but its math proficiency is only 26.47%; its small enrollment means results can change substantially from year to year. Panorama School serves a distinct alternative-school population in grades PK–12, so its lower test scores and 77% graduation rate should not be compared directly with conventional schools without considering its mission and student needs. Hofstetter Elementary serves kindergarten through second grade, but current test scores are unavailable, making its present performance difficult to assess. Across the area, ELA declined at every school with comparable results, while science improved notably at the junior high and high school.
