Summary:
The city of La Conner, Washington is home to three schools - La Conner Elementary, La Conner High School, and La Conner Middle - that serve students from elementary through high school. The schools in the La Conner School District have a diverse student population, with significant percentages of white, Native American, and Hispanic students.
While La Conner High School stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.9%, the district as a whole is ranked 202 out of 249 districts in Washington and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is a lower-performing district compared to the state. The high percentage of Native American students at La Conner Elementary, at 30.77%, is noteworthy and may suggest a need for culturally responsive teaching practices and support systems.
Across the district, proficiency rates on state assessments are generally below the state averages, especially in math, and all three schools have high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.14% to 63.25%. Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending, the consistently low state rankings for the individual schools suggest there may be underlying challenges that need to be addressed to improve academic performance and support the socioeconomic needs of the community.
