Selkirk High School

Q: Is Selkirk High School a good school?

Selkirk High School ranks 55 th of 437 Washington high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Selkirk High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the town of Ione, Washington. With just 75 students, this school has consistently delivered excellent academic outcomes, outperforming the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science.

Selkirk High School's strong performance is particularly noteworthy given its significant population of low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, with over 50% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school has ranked among the top 10 and 7th out of 370 and 392 Washington high schools for the performance of its low-SES students in recent years. In comparison, the nearby Northport High School in the Northport School District also performs well academically, but Selkirk High School appears to outshine it in several areas, such as Science proficiency and overall school rankings.

Selkirk High School's success is not limited to academic achievement; it also maintains a high four-year graduation rate of 87.5%, which is above the state average. Additionally, the school has seen an increase in racial diversity over the past few years, with growing percentages of Hispanic and Asian students, indicating that it is adapting to serve a more diverse student population. This shift in demographics may present both challenges and opportunities for the school in ensuring equitable educational experiences 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.
