Summary:
The city of Belfair, Washington is home to 7 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The schools in the North Mason School District generally perform below state averages on standardized tests, with a few standout exceptions.
The North Mason Homelink Program, an alternative high school, has the highest 4-year graduation rate at 91.4% and the lowest dropout rate at 8.5%. Its test scores in English Language Arts are also significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, North Mason Senior High School has a 79.2% 4-year graduation rate and a 13.2% dropout rate, which are below the state averages. The Belfair Elementary school stands out with the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math across all grades compared to the other elementary schools and the district/state averages.
The schools in Belfair serve a diverse student population, with a wide range of free/reduced lunch recipients, from 39.37% at North Mason Senior High to 56.93% at Sand Hill Elementary. This suggests varying levels of economic disadvantage across the district, which may contribute to the lower academic performance compared to state averages. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to address these disparities and ensure all students in Belfair have access to a high-quality education.
