Quilcene School District

The Quilcene School District in Washington state is home to two schools: Partnership for Excellence in Alternative Remote Learning and Quilcene High And Elementary. While the schools serve different student populations, they each offer unique educational experiences and opportunities.

Partnership for Excellence in Alternative Remote Learning stands out as the higher-performing school, with consistently strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. The school has a 3-star rating and ranks in the top half of Washington elementary schools. However, it has a significantly higher student-teacher ratio of 43.7, which may impact the quality of instruction. In contrast, Quilcene High And Elementary serves a more diverse student population and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13, which could contribute to a more personalized learning environment.

While Quilcene High And Elementary has lower test scores, particularly in the high school grades, it boasts a strong four-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 4.1%. The significant difference in spending per student between the two schools, with Quilcene High And Elementary spending nearly three times more per student, is an area that warrants further investigation to understand the factors driving this disparity.
