Best Public Schools in Sprague, WA

Summary:

The city of Sprague, Washington is home to two schools: Sprague Elementary and Sprague High School, both part of the Sprague School District. While the schools have small enrollments, they face significant challenges, including low academic performance, high poverty rates, and a lack of diversity compared to state averages.

Sprague Elementary stands out for its very high percentage of white students at 94.12%, much higher than the state average. However, the school's academic performance lags behind, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math below the state averages. Similarly, Sprague High School has lower test scores in English Language Arts and Science compared to the state, and its four-year graduation rate of 80.0% is relatively low.

Both schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a low-income student population. Despite the high spending per student, over $34,000 at each school, and very low student-teacher ratios, the academic outcomes do not seem to be commensurate with the resources invested. The small enrollments at both schools, just 34 students at the elementary level and 33 at the high school, suggest the district may be facing challenges with declining enrollment and the ability to provide a well-rounded education for its students.
