Summary:
The Trout Lake School District in Washington state is home to a single high school, Trout Lake School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Despite its small size of just 128 students, Trout Lake School has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) assessments, where proficiency rates exceed the state average.
Trout Lake School's student population is predominantly White (74.22%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (15.62%), Asian (3.91%), and other racial/ethnic groups. The school's four-year graduation rate in 2014-2015 was 84.6%, a positive indicator of student success. However, the school's math proficiency rates lag behind the state average, with just 20.31% of all students scoring proficient or better in 2023-2024.
Trout Lake School's relatively high spending per student ($19,074 in 2021-2022) and low student-teacher ratio (13.5 to 1) suggest that the district is allocating significant resources to support student learning. While the school's consistent academic performance in ELA is commendable, further investigation into the school's practices and policies would be needed to better understand the potential equity concerns raised by the school's predominantly White student population and to identify areas for improvement, particularly in mathematics.
