Summary:
The city of Chelan, Washington is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this district serve a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic/Latino representation ranging from 26.67% to 57.06% across the different schools.
Chelan High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with a 96.3% four-year graduation rate and strong performance in English Language Arts assessments, outpacing the state average. However, the school struggles with math performance, with only 20.43% of students proficient or better, significantly lower than the state average. In contrast, Morgen Owings Elementary School has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking and lags behind the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math assessments.
The schools in Chelan also face challenges related to economic disadvantage, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.88% at Chelan High School to 86.67% at Chelan School of Innovation, an alternative high school that has struggled with low performance and high dropout rates. The significant disparities in spending per student across the district, from $17,022 at Chelan Middle School to $30,268 at Holden Village Community School, raise questions about the equity of resource allocation within the Lake Chelan School District.
