Summary:
The Entiat Middle and High School is the sole high school serving grades 6-12 in the Entiat School District in Washington state. While the school's science proficiency rates exceed the state average, its performance in English Language Arts and Math lags behind, and it faces challenges with lower-than-average graduation rates and higher dropout rates.
Entiat Middle and High School serves a predominantly White and Hispanic student population, with a high percentage (70.92%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges within the community. The school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and its student-to-teacher ratio is lower, suggesting efforts to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged students. However, these efforts have not yet translated to stronger academic outcomes in core subjects like English and Math.
While the school's science proficiency rates are a bright spot, the overall academic performance and graduation/dropout rates suggest that the Entiat School District may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to improve student success across all subject areas and ensure more students are able to complete their high school education. Addressing the socioeconomic factors that impact the school community could be a key part of this effort.
