Summary:
The city of Entiat, Washington is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Paul Rumburg Elementary and Entiat Middle and High School. While both schools face challenges related to student socioeconomic status, the data reveals a significant disparity in academic performance between the two, with Entiat Middle and High School consistently outperforming the elementary school.
Entiat Middle and High School stands out as the higher-performing of the two, with a higher statewide ranking and better test scores across most subject areas and grade levels. The school also has a relatively diverse student population, with a mix of White, Hispanic, and Native American students. However, the school faces challenges, including a lower-than-average four-year graduation rate and a relatively high dropout rate.
In contrast, Paul Rumburg Elementary has lower proficiency rates compared to the Entiat School District and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The school also serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rates. These socioeconomic challenges may be contributing to the lower academic performance observed at the elementary school level.
