Summary:
Zip code 99166 is served by four schools in the Republic School District, offering kindergarten through grade 12 in a small community: Republic Elementary School, Republic Middle School, Republic Senior High School, and the K–12 Republic Parent Partner alternative program. Together, they enroll about 540 students, with the Parent Partner program serving the largest number.
The strongest current traditional-school results are at Republic Senior High School, especially in ELA, where 65.71% of students were proficient in 2025–2026—above both district and state rates. Its math and science results were much weaker, however. Republic Middle School performed best in science relative to its other subjects, while seventh-grade ELA was a bright spot. Eighth-grade ELA and math were concerning, with proficiency of 27.27% and 12.12%. Republic Elementary School had the lowest current traditional-school results in ELA, math, and science, and its statewide ranking has declined over three years. The broadest concern across the district is math, with every school reporting less than 28% proficiency.
The Republic Parent Partner program should be viewed separately because it serves K–12 students through an alternative model and has suppressed current ELA and science results. Its prior-year ELA and science results were comparatively strong. The high school’s 82% graduation rate was close to the state rate of 82.6%, despite weak math and science testing outcomes. Traditional schools report high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, while school size, staffing, and program structure may affect comparisons. Parents may want to focus on math support, elementary literacy, the eighth-grade transition, and the high school’s ability to maintain strong ELA while improving math and science.
