Summary:
The city of Selah, Washington is home to 8 schools serving students from pre-K through 12th grade, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. The schools in this Selah School District serve a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Among the standout schools in Selah is Selah High School, the largest high school in the district with 1,135 students and a strong 95% four-year graduation rate. However, the school's academic performance lags behind the state average, with only about half of 10th graders proficient in English Language Arts and just 17% proficient in Math. In contrast, Selah Intermediate School has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students but relatively strong math and science proficiency rates compared to the district and state.
Across the Selah School District, test scores in English Language Arts and Math generally lag behind state averages, with only about 50% of students proficient in ELA and 30% in Math. The district also exhibits a wide range in per-student spending, from $4,589 at the small Selah HomeLink school to $33,245 at the Selah Academy Online. This variation in resources suggests the need for the district to re-evaluate its allocation to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities across all schools.
