Summary:
The city of Trout Lake, Washington is home to two schools: Trout Lake School, a high school, and Trout Lake Elementary, an elementary school. While Trout Lake Elementary is a standout performer, ranking in the top 25% of Washington elementary schools, the high school has seen more mixed results, with its statewide ranking fluctuating over the years.
Trout Lake Elementary stands out for its consistently high test scores, particularly in math where 76.92% of students were proficient or better compared to 41.68% statewide. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, suggesting strong individual attention for students. In contrast, Trout Lake School District has seen challenges, with the high school's performance being more middling and a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to the elementary school, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges facing the high school population.
The data suggests that while Trout Lake Elementary is a strong performer, the transition and continuity of education as students move from elementary to secondary school in Trout Lake may be an area for improvement. Further investigation into the drivers of these differences, as well as the high spending per student at the elementary school, could provide valuable insights to support student success across all grade levels in the Trout Lake School District.
