Summary:
The Reardan-Edwall School District in Reardan, Washington, serves about 725 students across three public schools: an elementary school, a combined middle-senior high school, and an alternative K-12 program, with the district ranking in the top third statewide.
Among these schools, Reardan Middle-Senior High School stands out for its strong performance, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Washington with an exceptional 92% graduation rate and notably high proficiency in science and 10th-grade English. In contrast, Reardan Elementary School has seen a recent decline in its statewide ranking, though it shows strengths in specific areas like 3rd-grade math, while math proficiency is an area for improvement across the district. The Reardan-Edwall School District Options' Program serves a smaller, alternative population with the highest economic need but the lowest per-student spending.
Key takeaways for parents include the district's overall above-average rating and very high graduation rates, which indicate strong student support. The high school's excellence in science and English is a major strength, while the elementary school's recent performance dip and the district-wide challenge in math are points the district is likely addressing. The variation in performance between grade levels and schools suggests that the educational experience can differ, making it valuable to look at specific programs and grade-level data when considering these schools.
