Summary:
The city of Chipley, Florida is home to 6 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 3 alternative schools. The schools in this area serve a predominantly white student population and exhibit a mix of high-performing and underperforming academic outcomes compared to district and state averages.
Roulhac Middle School stands out as the top-performing school, with the highest test scores in Algebra 1 and Civics, as well as a significantly higher 8th-grade math proficiency rate than the district and state. In contrast, Kate M. Smith Elementary School and Chipley High School struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting their academic performance. The alternative schools, such as Washington Academy of Varying Exceptionalities (WAVE), serve specialized populations and have higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios to meet their unique needs.
Overall, the schools in Washington district tend to perform below the district and state averages, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to help these schools improve and better serve their students. Addressing the disparities in performance, chronic absenteeism, and alignment with district and state averages could be important focus areas for the district to enhance educational outcomes for all students in Chipley.
