Schools in Thorp School District · Kittitas County

Ellensburg High School and Valley View Elementary both rank in the low 70th percentiles statewide, making them the clearest bright spots among Kittitas County's 13 ranked public schools spread across five districts. The county stretches from the college town of Ellensburg through Cle Elum and into the small mountain community of Easton, creating a range of school sizes and settings. Cle Elum Roslyn Elementary rounds out the stronger performers at the 65th percentile. None of the county's schools currently break into the top statewide quartile, so families prioritizing high academic rankings may want to weigh that alongside the rural lifestyle this part of central Washington offers.
