Summary:

ZIP code 99169 includes three small schools serving students from prekindergarten through 12th grade in the Ritzville and Lind-Ritzville area: Ritzville Grade School, Ritzville High School, and Lind-Ritzville High School. There are no middle schools listed in the ZIP code, and total enrollment is 373 students. The two Ritzville schools belong to the Ritzville School District, while Lind-Ritzville High School is part of the Lind School District. The schools are small, so year-to-year results can change noticeably when the performance of only a few students affects the percentages.

Ritzville Grade School has a strong math profile. Overall math proficiency was 58.54%, about 15 percentage points above the state and district rates, and all three reported grades exceeded statewide results. Fifth-grade math was especially strong at 60%. English performance was closer to the state average, with fourth grade standing out positively, while third-grade ELA was somewhat lower. Science was a concern: 40% of students were proficient, compared with 50.95% statewide. Ritzville High School had the area’s strongest ELA result, with 72.22% proficiency—well above both the state and district. Its math result was weaker at 37.14%, although that improved substantially from the prior year, and science was lower still at 34.62%.

Lind-Ritzville High School reported a promising 54.55% math proficiency rate, above the state result, but its small enrollment of 47 students and suppressed ELA and science results make a complete evaluation difficult. It also serves a higher-need student population and belongs to a lower-ranked district, so comparisons should be made carefully. Overall, the Ritzville schools have the more consistently documented profile: elementary math and high-school ELA are notable strengths, while science is the clearest improvement area across the schools with available results. Parents comparing options should also consider school size, available programs, graduation information, and the limitations of small-school data.
