Summary:
The Mossyrock School District in Washington state is home to two high schools: Mossyrock Junior/Senior High School and Mossyrock Academy. While Mossyrock Junior/Senior High School is the larger of the two with 273 students, Mossyrock Academy serves a more economically disadvantaged population, with 90% of its 10 students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to 68.13% at the larger school.
Mossyrock Academy stands out with a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 10:1, compared to 18.4:1 at Mossyrock Junior/Senior High School. This suggests students at the smaller school may receive more individualized attention. However, Mossyrock Junior/Senior High School has a higher 4-year graduation rate of 93%, compared to just 50% at Mossyrock Academy, and a lower dropout rate of 6.9% versus 20%.
Academically, Mossyrock Junior/Senior High School underperforms the state average on standardized tests in English Language Arts and Math, though it outperforms the state in 11th grade science. Mossyrock Academy does not have recent test score data available. The stark contrast in per-student spending between the two schools ($16,554 at Mossyrock Junior/Senior High School versus $5,599 at Mossyrock Academy) suggests factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the disparities in performance and graduation rates.
