Best Public Schools in Raymond, WA


Summary:

Raymond, Washington is served by four public schools across two districts—Raymond School District and Willapa Valley School District—enrolling about 830 students from elementary through high school.

When comparing schools, Willapa Elementary stands out as the strongest performer, especially in science where it far exceeds the state average, and it has the most favorable student-teacher ratio. In contrast, Raymond Junior Senior High School faces significant challenges, with the lowest rankings and proficiency rates in core subjects, and a graduation rate below the state average. Raymond Elementary School shows stronger elementary math results, while Willapa Valley Middle-High has higher per-student spending but more volatile performance over time.

Overall, schools in the Willapa Valley district consistently outperform those in the Raymond district academically. A key finding is the notable drop in student performance, particularly in math and science, as students progress from elementary to high school in both districts. Parents should note the clear disparity in outcomes between the two districts and the stronger elementary foundations, especially in science at Willapa Elementary, which suggest areas of excellence as well as opportunities for improvement at the secondary level.
