Original Research by School Decision on George Elementary
George Elementary is a regular public school in Quincy, Washington, serving kindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Quincy School District. It is a small elementary school, and its student body is overwhelmingly Hispanic, with a very modest share of White students and even smaller numbers from other racial and ethnic groups. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a community with high economic need.
State testing results for the most recent school year show that proficiency rates across math, English language arts, and science are low. In math, the share of students meeting the state standard was below a quarter of test takers in the grades where results were reported. In English language arts, the reported rate was even lower, and in science it was similarly low. Results for third grade were suppressed, so a complete picture for the youngest tested grade is not available. Overall, George Elementary's proficiency across tested subjects and grades places it in the bottom quartile relative to other districts in Grant County. This is a soft spot in the school’s profile, and a parent may want to look into what academic interventions and support systems the school offers.
The school does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to report. Information on chronic absenteeism, discipline, staffing, and course access was not available in the data provided. Counts for students with disabilities and English learners were also missing, so a fuller understanding of the school’s special populations will require direct inquiry.
George Elementary is located in Quincy, a small city in Grant County that blends a long-standing agricultural economy with a major data-center industry attracted by abundant hydroelectric power. The population is young, family-oriented, and predominantly Hispanic. Housing values in the area are lower than the state average, making it a relatively affordable place to live compared to many parts of Washington. The town has a traditional small-town center and sees seasonal visitors drawn by the nearby Gorge Amphitheatre.
The Quincy School District has recently added new school options. Ancient Lakes Elementary opened as a new K-5 school, and Quincy Innovation Academy Big Picture was introduced as an alternative program serving kindergarten through twelfth grade. These additions expand the range of educational pathways available to families in the district.
In sum, George Elementary is a small, high-needs elementary school in a growing town that combines agriculture and technology. Its academic outcomes are below average for the county, and the available data leaves gaps around student supports and school environment. A family considering this school will want to visit, ask about academic intervention programs, and learn how the school serves its large population of students from low-income and Hispanic backgrounds.
