Port Angeles School District

The Port Angeles School District consists of 10 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 2 alternative schools, serving students in the Port Angeles area. The district's schools show a range of academic performance, with Hamilton Elementary and Port Angeles High School standing out as consistently high-performing across multiple metrics, including test scores and graduation rates.

The data reveals that Hamilton Elementary and Dry Creek Elementary are the top-performing elementary schools, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages. At the high school level, Port Angeles High School stands out with a 91.9% four-year graduation rate and strong test scores, while the two alternative schools, Seaview Academy and Lincoln High School, struggle with lower academic performance and higher dropout rates.

The data also highlights potential equity concerns, as the schools with the highest rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, such as Dry Creek Elementary and Lincoln High School, tend to have lower test scores and graduation rates. This suggests the need for the Port Angeles School District to further investigate and address these disparities to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
