Summary:
The South Kitsap School District in Washington state is home to two high schools: South Kitsap High School and Discovery High School. While both schools serve students in grades 9-12, the data analysis reveals a significant performance gap between the two, with South Kitsap High School emerging as the standout school in the district.
South Kitsap High School boasts a larger student population of 2,389 and consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts. However, the school's Math and Science proficiency rates, while higher than Discovery High School, still lag behind the state average. In contrast, Discovery High School significantly underperforms in all academic areas, with a much lower 4-year graduation rate of 50.4% and a higher dropout rate of 21.5%.
The South Kitsap School District as a whole is ranked 108 out of 247 districts in Washington and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement. The district should investigate the underlying factors contributing to the performance gap between the two high schools and implement targeted strategies to support the lower-performing Discovery High School and improve overall district-level outcomes.
