College Place School District

The College Place School District consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative program). The district serves a diverse student population in the College Place area.

Davis Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with relatively high test scores in science and math that exceed the district and state averages. The school also has a diverse student population and is consistently ranked in the top half of Washington elementary schools. In contrast, College Place High School has a strong 4-year graduation rate and low dropout rate, but its academic performance, especially in math, lags behind the state average. John Sager Middle School also struggles with test scores that fall below the district and state averages.

Across the district, all schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 57.48% to 59.4%, indicating a need to address socioeconomic challenges faced by many students. The significant difference in per-student spending between the traditional schools and the alternative College Place Open Doors Program suggests a potential disparity in resource allocation that may contribute to the performance gaps observed in the district.
