Welcome to our Web Site.
Onion Creek School District #30 is located in a very rural
northern section of Stevens County, Washington.
We are proud of our rural setting and use our environment for learning purposes. Attendance at Onion
Creek School
generally ranges between 30 and 50 students a year. We often offer a 13:1 student-to-teacher ratio. The student body averages around 50% male
students and 50% female students. On an
average, 70% of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch. We have a predominately Caucasian population
of approximately 85%, with 6% American Indian, 6% Asian, and 2% African
American. We currently do not have any English Language Learners attending our
school, but Spanish and Japanese have been taught at all grade levels.
Our Community does not experience a migrant population;
however our mobility rate is approximately 16%.
Mobility rates vary from year to year, depending on the snow season and
on the economy. Currently, 59% of our
students live with foster parents, single parents, or with grandparents. On an average approximately 18- 20% of our
population qualifies for Special Education services. Our school has had a Title
I school-wide plan in place since 1997, allowing all students to receive
assistance through our Title I program. We revisit and update our Title I plan on
an annual basis.
Our Shared Vision for
Education
Onion
Creek School
District #30 will inspire and challenge people to
work toward their potential by offering nurturing and diverse learning
opportunities, which emphasize academic excellence and foster thinking,
creativity, mutual respect and shared responsibility for the future.
To achieve our vision, Onion Creek
School District #30 is
committed to providing continual opportunities to staff, community, parents and
students to contribute to the educational process. Onion
Creek School
District #30 strives to reach Washington State
Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs) by providing on-going
opportunities for planning, implementation, assessment, analysis and reflection
on the process of student learning in our school.
The school improvement plan is a work in progress, and a
response to EALRs, standardized test results such as the Washington Assessment
of Student Learning (WASL), community visioning meetings, and staff
contributions.
