Summary:
The Wahkiakum School District in Washington state is home to two schools: Julius A Wendt Elementary/John C Thomas Middle School and Wahkiakum High School. While the middle school has seen a decline in performance, the high school stands out as a strong academic performer, significantly outpacing the state average in English Language Arts.
Wahkiakum High School boasts impressive test scores, with 88.24% of 10th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 66.2%. The school also maintains a high four-year graduation rate of 91.6%, well above the state average. In contrast, the middle school generally performs below the state averages in both ELA and Math, suggesting an area for improvement.
Both schools face similar socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the district appears to allocate resources consistently, with similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the two schools. Moving forward, the district's ability to address these socioeconomic factors and maintain high-quality education will be crucial for the continued success of its students.
