Best Public Schools in Pateros, WA


Summary:

The city of Pateros, Washington is home to two schools: Pateros High School and Pateros Elementary, both part of the Pateros School District. While the schools share some similarities, such as higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios compared to state averages, they also exhibit notable differences in their student demographics and academic performance.

Pateros High School stands out for its relatively high percentage of Hispanic students at 56.43%, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 173rd out of 434 high schools in 2021-2022 to 269th out of 442 in 2022-2023. In contrast, Pateros Elementary has a higher percentage of white students (41.86%) compared to the high school (36.43%), suggesting different community dynamics or enrollment patterns between the two schools.

Both Pateros High School and Pateros Elementary face challenges, with below-average test scores in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, as well as higher-than-average dropout rates and free/reduced-price lunch rates, indicating a relatively low-income student population. While the schools' higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios suggest a focus on providing more individualized attention and resources, the academic performance data suggests these investments may not be translating into improved outcomes for students in the Pateros School District.
