Summary:
The Tekoa School District in Washington state is home to two schools: Tekoa Elementary School and Tekoa High School. While the elementary school has a predominantly White student population, the high school is more diverse, with higher percentages of Hispanic and Native American students.
Academically, both schools have seen declining performance on state assessments in recent years, with proficiency rates falling below the state average. Tekoa Elementary School stands out for its strong performance on 5th grade SBAC ELA and WCAS Science assessments, but struggles with overall SBAC ELA and Math proficiency. Tekoa High School has a relatively low four-year graduation rate of 75%, despite a 0% dropout rate, suggesting challenges in helping students successfully complete their high school education.
The Tekoa School District faces socioeconomic challenges, with high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support services. The district should closely examine its curriculum, instructional practices, and resource allocation to address the academic performance issues and ensure equitable opportunities for all students, from elementary to high school.
