Inchelium School District

The Inchelium School District in Washington state operates three schools: Inchelium Elementary School, Inchelium High School, and Inchelium Middle School. These schools serve a predominantly Native American student population, with enrollment ranging from 48 to 90 students.

Inchelium Elementary School stands out with its relatively higher test scores in English Language Arts and Science compared to the district and state averages, though its Math proficiency lags behind. In contrast, Inchelium High School faces significant challenges, with a low 4-year graduation rate of just 47% and a high dropout rate of 41.1%. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are also much lower than the state average.

Across all three schools, there are common challenges, including consistently low academic performance in English Language Arts and Math, high poverty and minority enrollment, and potential resource allocation imbalances despite relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios. These systemic issues suggest the need for targeted interventions to support student success and improve educational outcomes in the Inchelium School District.
