Summary:
The Soap Lake School District has only one high school, Soap Lake Middle & High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school faces significant academic and demographic challenges, with student performance well below state averages and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Soap Lake Middle & High School has an enrollment of 271 students, with a racial makeup of 56.09% White and 41.7% Hispanic. The school's academic performance is consistently low, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science far below state averages. For example, the school's 10th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate is 32.35%, compared to the state average of 66.2%. The school also struggles with a high dropout rate of 12.7%, significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's challenges, it spends a relatively high amount per student ($18,144) and has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio than the state average. However, these resources have not translated into improved student outcomes, as the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Washington high schools and received low SchoolDigger ratings. This suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's practices, resource allocation, and strategies to better support its students and improve their academic achievement.
