Summary

Prairie High School is a large public high school serving about 1,500 students in grades 9-12 within the Battle Ground School District in Brush Prairie, WA.

The school has a significant strength in graduating its students, with an 87.5% graduation rate that outpaces both the district and state averages. It also performs notably well in English Language Arts compared to many area schools like Evergreen High School and Heritage High School. However, parents should be aware that the school's overall state ranking has declined in recent years, and it faces a serious challenge in mathematics proficiency, where scores are significantly lower than at nearby high-achieving schools such as Hockinson High School.

When compared to other schools, Prairie High is the stronger traditional option within its own district, notably outperforming Summit View High School. Yet, it operates in a district that ranks below neighbors like the Hockinson School District. The presence of specialized schools like Vancouver iTech Preparatory in the region may attract some students with specific interests. While per-student spending at Prairie is relatively high, the school's recent performance trends suggest a need for targeted improvements, particularly in math instruction.
