Summary:

Raymond Junior Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Raymond School District in Raymond, Washington, with a student population of 259 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has faced significant challenges in recent years, with a steady decline in its statewide ranking and academic performance.

Over the past several years, Raymond Junior Senior High School has seen its statewide ranking drop from 54th out of 341 Washington high schools in 2014-2015 to 383rd out of 437 in the 2023-2024 school year, with a 1-star rating. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 40.6% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 52.63%, and just 17.42% were proficient in math, compared to the state's 41.68%. The school also struggles with high dropout rates, reaching 13% in the 2022-2023 school year, and declining four-year graduation rates, from 91.6% in 2015-2016 to 82.6% in 2022-2023.

When compared to the nearby Willapa Valley Middle-High and South Bend High School, Raymond Junior Senior High School performs significantly worse on standardized tests, has a higher dropout rate, and a lower graduation rate. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 72.2% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, likely contributes to these challenges. The district and school leadership will need to implement comprehensive strategies to address these issues and improve the academic and social-emotional outcomes for all students.

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.
