Camas School District Ranks Ninth Statewide

Camas School District is ranked No. 9 among Washington’s best school districts in Niche’s 2026 statewide list. (niche.com) Niche lists Camas at No. 9 of 231 Washington districts and No. 1 in Clark County on its 2026 district rankings page. The district also ranks No. 616 nationally and No. 5 in Washington in Niche’s “best districts for athletes” category. (niche.com) The statewide ranking comes from Niche’s 2026 methodology, which says it uses U.S. Department of Education data, district ratings, graduation rates, teacher quality and college-readiness measures. Niche says it removed SAT and ACT scores from this year’s district rankings to reflect a broader shift away from test scores in admissions. (niche.com) On Niche’s district profile, Camas carries an overall grade of A and serves 7,244 students in grades prekindergarten through 12 with a 19-to-1 student-teacher ratio. The same profile lists 67% of students as proficient in math and 77% in reading on state tests. (niche.com) Washington’s official state report card lists Camas School District under district code 100031 and says the 2025-26 enrollment figure now shown is preliminary October data as of Nov. 24, 2025. The state report card site says final October enrollment data for 2025-26 will be published in June 2026. (reportcard.ospi.k12.wa.us) The ranking lands as Camas continues to market itself as a high-performing district to current families and new residents. The district’s own site links families to state report cards, maintains attendance boundaries for elementary and middle schools, and posts enrollment information for new students. (camas.wednet.edu) Other ranking systems place Camas near the top of the state, but not in the exact same spot. SchoolDigger says Camas is 10th of 247 Washington districts in its 2025 rankings and notes the district “jumped 5 slots” from the prior year in that system. (schooldigger.com) Those differences reflect different formulas as much as different school performance. Niche weights reviews and several district-level indicators, while SchoolDigger says its Washington district rankings emphasize test-score performance. (niche.com) (schooldigger.com) For Camas, the immediate takeaway is narrower than a statewide brag sheet: one of Washington’s fastest-growing suburban school markets is still being rated among the state’s top tier by major school-ranking sites.
