Hoquiam School District

The Hoquiam School District in Washington state serves around 2,000 students across 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district faces significant challenges, with most schools performing well below state averages on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and dropout rates.

While the elementary and middle schools show somewhat better, but still below-average, results, the Hoquiam High School and Hoquiam Homelink School struggle with low test scores, high dropout rates, and poor overall performance. The high school has a 4-year graduation rate of 89.4%, which is relatively high but still below the state average, and a concerning dropout rate of 9.4%. The alternative Hoquiam Homelink School has an even lower 4-year graduation rate of 57.1% and a high dropout rate of 35.7%.

Across the district, economic disadvantage is a significant challenge, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 65.56% at Hoquiam High School to 82.53% at Emerson Elementary. This suggests that many students face barriers that may impact their educational outcomes. The district's overall ranking of 234 out of 247 in Washington and 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger indicates poor performance compared to other districts in the state, underscoring the need for targeted interventions and a focus on equity and access to improve educational opportunities for all students in the Hoquiam School District.
