Wilbur Secondary School

Summary:

Wilbur Secondary School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the small town of Wilbur, Washington. With a student population of 126, the school is part of the Wilbur School District, which is ranked 72 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating. The school's racial makeup is predominantly White (68.25%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (8.73%), Native American (12.7%), and two or more races (8.73%) students.

Wilbur Secondary School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 84.0% in 2022-2023 to 88.8% in 2020-2021, which is a positive metric that sets the school apart from the surrounding schools like Lake Roosevelt Alternative School. However, the school's dropout rate has fluctuated, ranging from 4.0% in 2022-2023 to 11.1% in 2020-2021, which is still lower than the 12.5% dropout rate at Lake Roosevelt Alternative School in 2022-2023. Wilbur Secondary School's test scores, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA), are generally higher than the district and state averages, but the school's math proficiency rates are lower than the state average, indicating an area for improvement.

Compared to the nearby Lake Roosevelt Junior/Senior High School and Creston Junior-Senior High School, Wilbur Secondary School generally performs better on academic metrics, such as test scores and graduation rates. However, the school's performance is still below the state averages in several areas, and its fluctuating ranking and funding levels may contribute to these challenges. Continued efforts to improve student outcomes and address the needs of the diverse student population will be crucial for the school's success.

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.
