Summary:

Clarkston, Washington, has 10 schools serving about 2,495 students from elementary through high school, along with virtual, special-services, and reengagement programs, all within the Clarkston School District. Overall performance varies widely, with the district ranked in the 43rd percentile statewide. For conventional schools, Charles Francis Adams High School stands out as the strongest, while Heights Elementary leads the elementary schools.

Charles Francis Adams High School has a 4-star rating, ranks in the 73rd percentile, and reports a 92.2% graduation rate. Its English language arts and science results exceed state averages, although math remains a concern. Among elementary schools, Heights Elementary has the highest ranking and strongest overall proficiency. Parkway Elementary shows especially strong third-grade results, but its sixth-grade scores are much lower. Highland Elementary and Grantham Elementary have lower overall results, with Grantham ranking lowest among the conventional elementary schools.

Lincoln Middle School is an important transition point and the clearest academic concern, particularly in math, where only 26.92% of students are proficient. Math is also weaker than English language arts in much of the district, making it a key area for improvement. Alternative programs should be judged by measures suited to their missions: Discovery Virtual School has comparatively strong English language arts results but a lower graduation rate, while Educational Opportunity Center, Special Services, and Educational Opportunity Center Reengagement serve specialized or very small populations. Parents should consider grade level, program type, enrollment size, and available supports alongside rankings.
