Lamont School District

Located at 602 Main Street in Lamont, Washington, the Lamont School District operates as an open, traditional public school district serving a distinct educational niche within a remote rural community. Operating out of a single school facility, the district concentrates its resources exclusively on upper elementary and middle school education, serving students in fifth through eighth grades. The district hosts an intimate student body of 29 total learners, including 9 fifth-graders, 8 sixth-graders, 5 seventh-graders, and 7 eighth-graders. Demographically, the student population comprises 18 male and 11 female students, with 23 identifying as White and 6 as Hispanic, reflecting a tight-knit environment tailored to early adolescent development.

The district's small scale allows for an extraordinarily supportive learning environment supported by a robust staffing model. With 7.1 full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers, nearly 7.7 FTE support staff members, and dedicated instructional aide assistance, the district employs a total staff footprint of just over 15 FTE positions. This structure yields a remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio of approximately four to one, providing students with exceptional individualized attention and close academic mentorship that larger school systems rarely replicate. For parents, local families, and educational researchers evaluating rural public education in Eastern Washington, the Lamont School District stands out as a focused, highly attentive learning institution and can be reached directly at (509) 257-2463.
