Washougal School District

The Washougal School District in Washington state serves over 3,000 students across 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district maintains a consistent 4-star rating, ranking 64th out of 249 districts in the state, indicating a generally high-quality education across the schools.

Among the standout schools in the district, Canyon Creek Middle School ranks 88th out of 539 Washington middle schools and boasts impressive academic performance, with 65-69% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 42-55% proficient in Math. The district's Washougal High School also performs well, with an 88.9% four-year graduation rate and solid proficiency in English Language Arts, though its Math proficiency lags behind the state average. Meanwhile, Hathaway Elementary stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district, potentially offering a more personalized learning environment.

However, the district also exhibits some areas for improvement, as academic performance varies across the elementary schools, and certain schools, like Gause Elementary, have lower proficiency rates compared to the state and district averages. Additionally, the wide range in free/reduced lunch rates across schools suggests potential socioeconomic disparities that may impact student outcomes. By addressing these equity concerns and sharing best practices, the Washougal School District can work to ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
