Dallesport Elementary

Dallesport Elementary sits in a small, tight-knit community along the Columbia River Gorge, where the scenery is stunning but the academic challenges are real — the school ranks in the lower tier statewide in both English and math. Families who are drawn to the rural, outdoor lifestyle of Klickitat County and the close proximity to The Dalles just across the river may find appeal in the small school environment, where kids tend to know their teachers well. Parents who prioritize academics, however, may want to look into supplemental support at home or explore what the broader Lyle School District offers as students move through the grades.
