Northport High School

Summary:

Northport High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the rural town of Northport, Washington, with a student population of just 53. Despite its small size, this school consistently outperforms state and district averages, making it a standout educational institution in the region.

Northport High School's academic performance is exceptional, with 92.86% of 10th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 64.29% proficient or better in math, compared to state averages of 66.2% and 33.4%, respectively. The school also boasts high science proficiency rates, with 72.73% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better, well above the state average of 49.66%. This strong academic achievement is particularly impressive given that 66.04% of Northport High School's students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, a population that often struggles academically. However, Northport High School ranks 2nd out of 356 high schools in Washington for the performance of this subgroup.

Northport High School's success can be attributed to several factors, including its small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 6.7 to 9 students per teacher, and its relatively high per-student spending, which has ranged from $15,612 to $30,250 over the past four school years. In comparison, Selkirk High School, located 18.91 miles from Northport, serves a similar rural community but has lower academic performance, highlighting the exceptional nature of Northport High School's educational program.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
