Summary:
The Quillayute Valley School District in Washington serves a diverse student population across 5 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. While the district as a whole underperforms the state average, a few standout schools emerge, such as Forks High School, which has a low student-teacher ratio and strong English Language Arts proficiency, and Forks Elementary School, which has the highest per-student spending and excels in Math proficiency.
The district's schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.83% to 67.4%. This may contribute to the overall academic challenges faced by the schools, as evidenced by their generally lower test scores compared to state averages. However, Insight School of Washington, a virtual high school, stands out as the lowest-performing school in the district, with a bottom-third state ranking, low graduation rates, and high dropout rates.
The variation in per-student spending, with the alternative school (District Run Home School) having the lowest and the elementary school having the highest, raises questions about the allocation of resources and the potential impact on student outcomes. Overall, the Quillayute Valley School District appears to be facing significant challenges, with opportunities for improvement across the schools to better serve the diverse needs of its students.
