Selkirk School District

The Selkirk School District in Washington state is home to three schools: Selkirk Elementary School, Selkirk High School, and Selkirk Middle School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in the Selkirk community.

Selkirk High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 55th out of 437 Washington high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school boasts impressive test scores, with 73.91% of 10th graders proficient or better in ELA and 47.83% in Math, outperforming the state averages. Additionally, Selkirk High School maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a relatively low dropout rate of 12.5%. In contrast, Selkirk Middle School is ranked 167th out of 535 Washington middle schools, with a 3-star rating, but it performs well in ELA, with 58.33% of all grades proficient or better, compared to the state average of 52.63%.

While the schools in the Selkirk School District generally perform well, there are some areas of concern. Selkirk Elementary School has the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 66.13%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, all three schools struggle with Math proficiency, with scores below the state average. The significant difference in spending per student between the high school and the elementary/middle schools may also suggest a need to re-evaluate resource allocation across the district to ensure equitable distribution.
