Summary:
The Toutle Lake School District in Washington state is home to a single high school, Toutle Lake High School, which serves approximately 300 students in grades 9-12. The school's student population is predominantly White (80.67%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, two or more races, Asian, and Native American students.
Academically, Toutle Lake High School faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates on state assessments (SBAC and WCAS) consistently falling below the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 11.11% to 52.63% in English Language Arts and 17.16% to 23.08% in Math, compared to the state averages of 49.78% to 66.2% in ELA and 33.4% to 41.68% in Math. The school's science proficiency rates, as measured by the WCAS, were also below the state average, ranging from 21.15% to 40%.
Socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's performance, as Toutle Lake High School has a relatively high percentage of students (43%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 89.7% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 10.2% is higher than the state average. Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved student outcomes, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific challenges faced by the school.
