Ephrata School District

The Ephrata School District in Washington state serves students from 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district's schools vary in performance, with Ephrata Middle School standing out as a relatively high performer, ranking in the top 226 middle schools in the state. In contrast, the Sage Hills Open Doors Youth Re-Engagement Program faces significant challenges, with much lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates compared to the other schools in the district.

Across the district, test scores tend to be below state averages, with the exception of Ephrata Middle School and Parkway School, which perform closer to or above state levels in some subjects and grade levels. The schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Grant Elementary and Columbia Ridge Elementary, tend to have lower test scores compared to the district and state averages.

The Ephrata School District serves a diverse student population, with Hispanic students making up a significant portion of the student body at many of the schools. The district's data suggests areas for potential improvement, such as raising test scores, especially in math, and addressing the challenges faced by the Sage Hills Open Doors program to support student success across the district.
