Toutle Lake School District

The Toutle Lake School District in Washington state is home to two schools: Toutle Lake Elementary and Toutle Lake High School. While Toutle Lake Elementary has relatively high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and science, both schools struggle with low math proficiency, particularly in the upper grade levels. Toutle Lake High School also faces concerns with low proficiency in English Language Arts and science, as well as a high dropout rate of 10.2%.

Equity and access are areas of concern, with both schools having predominantly white student populations and high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, especially at Toutle Lake Elementary. The declining SchoolDigger rankings for both schools suggest ongoing academic challenges, and the high student-teacher ratio at Toutle Lake High School may contribute to these issues.

To address these challenges, the Toutle Lake School District should focus on strengthening math instruction and support across all grade levels, exploring strategies to boost science performance, and implementing targeted interventions and support systems to address the high dropout rate at Toutle Lake High School. Addressing these areas of concern will help ensure that all students in the district receive a high-quality education and have the opportunity to succeed.
