About Washington Elementary
Washington Elementary is the larger of Cloquet Public Schools' two elementaries, enrolling roughly 495 students from prekindergarten through grade 4 (NCES Common Core of Data, 2024-2025, accessed 2026-08-13).
Cloquet Public Schools enrolls roughly 2,529 students across four main buildings plus early childhood and alternative programs (NCES Common Core of Data, 2024-2025). The grade structure is unusual for this region: elementary runs only through grade 4, and the middle school covers a wide five-through-eight span, so students change buildings at the end of fourth grade. Families arriving from a district with a different configuration should plan for that earlier transition. The district also works in long-standing partnership with the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, whose reservation borders the city, including Ojibwe language and culture programming. This guide builds its own transparent school ratings from Minnesota Department of Education report card data rather than republishing licensed third-party scores.
