In contrast, Tenino Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (46.24%) and Math (40.14%) across all grades in the district. However, the overall proficiency rates in Math for all grades are significantly below the state average, ranging from 16.25% at Tenino High School to 40.14% at Tenino Elementary School.
The Tenino School District serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free/reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools, ranging from 46.4% at Tenino High School to 57.45% at Tenino Elementary School. This could be a contributing factor to the district's lower academic performance compared to the state. Addressing these equity concerns and identifying the root causes of the district's challenges could be a priority for the district's leadership to ensure all students in Tenino have access to a high-quality education.
