Best Public Schools in Enumclaw, WA

Summary:

The city of Enumclaw, Washington is home to 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Enumclaw School District. The data reveals that Enumclaw Senior High School and Westwood Elementary School are the standout performers, consistently outpacing the district and state averages in academic proficiency and graduation rates.

Westwood Elementary stands out as the highest-ranked elementary school in Enumclaw, with strong proficiency in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. Enumclaw Senior High School also excels, ranking 126th out of 442 high schools in Washington and maintaining a graduation rate of 82.8%, higher than the district and state. However, the district's dropout rate at the high school level is an area of concern, at 10.5%.

Socioeconomic factors appear to play a role, as schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as JJ Smith Elementary, tend to have lower academic performance. The district's racial makeup is predominantly white, with Hispanic/Latino students making up the second-largest group. Overall, the data suggests that while Enumclaw has some high-performing schools, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students and reducing dropout rates at the high school level.
