Summary:
The Tonasket School District in Washington state is home to two high schools: Tonasket High School and Tonasket Choice High School. While Tonasket High School serves a larger student population of 342, Tonasket Choice High School is a much smaller alternative high school with only 22 students enrolled.
Tonasket High School has a diverse student body, with a racial makeup of 51.17% White and 43.27% Hispanic. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Washington high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite a strong 92.8% four-year graduation rate, Tonasket High School's test scores are significantly below the state averages, particularly in Math. The school also has a high percentage (84.21%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the district.
In contrast, Tonasket Choice High School has a less diverse student population, with 68.18% White and 27.27% Hispanic. While statewide ranking information is not available for this school, it has an even higher percentage (95.45%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Spending per student at Tonasket Choice High School is lower than Tonasket High School, but still above the state average. The small size of Tonasket Choice High School suggests that the district is trying to provide alternative educational options for students who may not thrive in a traditional high school setting.
