High Schools in Darrington School District

The Darrington School District in Washington state is home to a single high school, Darrington High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Despite the district's small size, the data reveals both strengths and challenges for this school.

Academically, Darrington High School has struggled, ranking in the bottom half of Washington high schools and performing below the state average in overall proficiency rates for English Language Arts and Math. However, the school's 10th-grade proficiency rates in these subjects outperform the state, suggesting that targeted interventions may be helping some students succeed. The school's science proficiency rate is also slightly lower than the state average. Graduation and dropout rates are areas of concern, with the school's four-year graduation rate below the state average and its dropout rate significantly higher.

Demographically, Darrington High School has a predominantly white student population, with nearly half of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and significantly higher per-student spending compared to the state average, the data suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates resources to better support its unique student population and address the academic and social-emotional challenges they face.
