Summary:
The Clover Park School District in Washington is home to 6 high schools, serving students in grades 9-12. While the district faces challenges with low academic performance and high poverty rates, one school, General William H. Harrison Preparatory School, stands out as a high-performing institution within the district.
Harrison Prep consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with 72.94% and 48.24% of 10th graders meeting or exceeding standards, respectively, compared to 47.99% and 16.75% for the district. The school also boasts a 91.4% 4-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the other high schools in the district. In contrast, the district as a whole struggles with low test scores, high poverty rates, and high student-teacher ratios, with dropout rates ranging from 6.8% at Lakes High School to 15.2% at the CPSD Open Doors Program.
The Clover Park School District offers a diverse range of educational opportunities, including specialized programs like the CPSD Open Doors Program and Transition Day Students. However, these programs tend to have lower academic outcomes compared to the traditional high schools. The district's funding disparities, with spending per student ranging from $6,814 at Alfaretta House to $54,084 at Transition Day Students, suggest a need for more equitable resource allocation to support student success across the district.
