Summary:
Inchelium School District is home to a single high school, Inchelium High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Located in a predominantly Native American community, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Inchelium High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Washington high schools, with a 0 out of 5 SchoolDigger star rating. The school's academic performance is well below the state average, with only 41.18% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 50% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Science, compared to state averages of 65.89% and 49.66%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a concerning 47.0% four-year graduation rate and a high 41.1% dropout rate.
Despite the high spending of $27,517 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9, Inchelium High School's academic outcomes suggest that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the predominantly Native American student population. The school's challenges may be influenced by factors such as socioeconomic status, resource availability, and the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational opportunities and student success.
