About schools in Chelan County

Wenatchee anchors the county as its largest city, but when it comes to standout public school performance, Cashmere — a smaller community to the west — punches well above its size. Cashmere High School ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide, and Cashmere Middle School and Vale Elementary round out a remarkably consistent K-12 pipeline in that single district. Spread across seven districts and 29 ranked schools, Chelan County blends orchard-valley towns like Manson and Chelan with the more urban energy of Wenatchee. Six schools reach the top quartile statewide, making this mountain-and-river county genuinely worth a closer look for families prioritizing academic performance.
