School Overview

Tucked into the small town of Chewelah in northeastern Washington's Stevens County, Gess Elementary serves a tight-knit rural community where families tend to know their neighbors and outdoor life — think hiking, hunting, and skiing at 49 Degrees North — is part of the everyday rhythm. The school shows some of its strongest footing in science, which fits well with a region where kids grow up connected to the natural world around them. It's a good fit for families drawn to small-town living who value a close community feel over the bustle of a larger district.
