Summary:

Pateros High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Pateros, Washington, with a total enrollment of 140 students. The school is part of the Pateros School District, which is ranked 84 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pateros High School stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population, ranging from 56-63% over the past 3 years, compared to the state average. This is notably higher than the nearby Chelan High School (56% Hispanic) and Manson High School (62% Hispanic). Additionally, Pateros High School has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72-74% over the past 3 years, which is substantially higher than the nearby schools.

Academically, Pateros High School has shown mixed performance. While they perform well in 10th grade English Language Arts (65% proficient in 2023-2024), their math proficiency rates are significantly lower, ranging from 20-27% proficient across all grades, notably lower than the nearby schools. However, the school's 86.3% four-year graduation rate and 4.5% dropout rate for the 2021-2022 school year are generally in line with or slightly better than the nearby schools. These challenges suggest that Pateros High School may need to examine its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to better serve its high-need student population and improve academic outcomes.

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.
