Creston School District

Creston School District is the K-12 school district in the town of Creston, Washington. Due to the small size of the town (pop. 255), the elementary, junior high, and high school are all conveniently located in the same building, therefore, there is basically only one school in the district. The elementary school has combined classrooms: 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th, and 5th/6th. The school is currently classified as a "B" school and will participate in the new 2B sports classification starting with the 2006-2007 school year.
