Summary:
Forks, Washington, serves students through six schools across multiple grade levels, including two elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and two alternative programs, within a district facing significant academic challenges.
Parents should know that academic performance varies widely between schools. Forks High School shows the strongest traditional outcomes with the highest graduation rate in the area, while Forks Middle School ranks in the bottom 6% of state middle schools, indicating serious struggles, especially in math. The large online Insight School of Washington has an exceptionally high dropout rate that heavily impacts the overall averages for the Quillayute Valley School District.
There are also stark differences in resources; Queets-Clearwater Elementary in the separate Queets-Clearwater School District spends more than double per student than some other schools. Overall, the district's proficiency rates in English, math, and science are consistently 16-19 points below the state average, and all local schools report high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
