High Schools in Prosser School District

The Prosser School District in Washington state is home to two high schools: Prosser High School and Prosser Opportunity Academy. While Prosser High School is the larger and relatively stronger-performing school, Prosser Opportunity Academy faces significant challenges in terms of student outcomes and academic achievement.

Prosser High School has a diverse student population, with 65.23% Hispanic and 30.22% White students. The school's proficiency rates in SBAC/English Language Arts, SBAC/Math, and WCAS/Science are below the state averages, with the largest gap in math proficiency. However, Prosser High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 91.3% and a low dropout rate of 4.5%. The school spends $15,972 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 20.1.

In contrast, Prosser Opportunity Academy has a smaller student population, with 59.09% Hispanic and 40.91% White students. The school's academic performance data is not available, likely due to the small student population. However, Prosser Opportunity Academy has a very low four-year graduation rate of 16.6% and a high dropout rate of 33.3%. The school spends $5,299 per student, but the student-teacher ratio is not provided. The significant difference in spending per student between the two high schools may be a contributing factor to the disparities in academic performance and graduation/dropout rates.
