Summary:
The Royal School District in Washington state has only one high school, Royal High School, which serves grades 9-12. With a student population of 550, Royal High School is struggling academically, consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of all Washington high schools over the past three years.
Royal High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 50.97% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 19.35% proficient or better in Math. The school's science proficiency rates are also below the state average, with 36% of 11th-grade students proficient or better. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes remain poor, indicating that additional resources and support may be needed to improve student achievement.
The high percentage of students (82.36%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Royal High School suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.0% is slightly below the state average, and the dropout rate of 10.4% is higher than the state average. These factors, combined with the school's consistently low rankings, suggest that Royal High School is facing significant challenges and may require targeted interventions and support from the district and state to address the underlying issues and better serve its students.
