Summary:
The La Center School District in Washington state consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some variation in the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across the different schools.
La Center High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 149 out of 437 Washington high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 79.4% and outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency for 10th-grade students. In contrast, La Center Middle School and La Center Academy consistently perform below the district and state averages in ELA, Math, and Science proficiency.
La Center Elementary School stands out for its exceptional performance in Science proficiency, with 66.88% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the district faces challenges in resource allocation, as evidenced by the significant difference in spending per student between La Center Academy ($5,059) and the other schools ($14,635 to $15,836), as well as the high student-teacher ratio at La Center Academy (42:1) compared to the other schools (17:1 to 19.9:1).
