High Schools in Kittitas School District

The Kittitas School District is home to two high schools: Kittitas High School and Parke Creek Treatment Center. Kittitas High School is the larger and more established of the two, with 334 students enrolled, while Parke Creek Treatment Center serves just 9 students.

Kittitas High School's student population is predominantly White (69.16%) and Hispanic (27.54%), with a 4-year graduation rate of 89.1% and a dropout rate of 4.3%. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the statewide averages, particularly in math and science. In contrast, Parke Creek Treatment Center has a more diverse student population and a lower student-teacher ratio of 9:1, but significantly higher spending per student at $22,081 compared to Kittitas High School's $17,200 per student.

Overall, the data suggests that while Kittitas High School is the larger and more established school, it faces challenges in academic performance that may require a closer look at its curriculum and instructional practices. Parke Creek Treatment Center, with its specialized focus and lower student-teacher ratio, appears to be allocating more resources per student, but its small enrollment and diverse student population indicate unique needs and challenges that the district must address to support student success across all its high schools.
