Summary:

Toutle Lake High School is a public high school located in Toutle, Washington, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 300 students. The school is part of the Toutle Lake School District, which is ranked 191 out of 247 districts in Washington and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Toutle Lake High School faces several challenges, including a declining statewide ranking, from a high of 42nd out of 341 Washington high schools in 2014-2015 to 308th out of 437 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's student population is predominantly white, with significantly lower percentages of minority students compared to the state average. While the school maintains relatively high graduation rates, its dropout rate has been increasing, reaching 10.2% in 2022-2023. Academically, Toutle Lake High School's test scores in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science are consistently lower than the state and district averages, indicating a need for improvement. Additionally, the growing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school is serving a larger population of economically disadvantaged students, which may require additional support and resources.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Mark Morris High School, Winlock Senior High, and Castle Rock High School, Toutle Lake High School generally performs worse in terms of statewide ranking, test scores, and graduation rates. This highlights the need for the school to identify and address the factors contributing to its underperformance relative to its peers.

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.
