Best Public Schools in Spangle, WA

Summary:

Spangle, Washington, is served by two public schools—Liberty Junior High & Elementary (PK-8) and Liberty High School (9-12)—within the highly-ranked Liberty School District, together educating about 605 students in a small-town setting.

Liberty High School stands out as a top performer, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide with an exceptional 87% proficiency in English and a 90% graduation rate, despite a significant portion of students facing economic need. In comparison, Liberty Junior High & Elementary performs solidly above state averages across all subjects, though its rankings are more moderate. Both schools share a district-wide strength in science, outperforming the state average by about 10 percentage points.

Key differences include resource allocation, with the high school benefiting from a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, which may correlate with its stronger outcomes. An interesting pattern is the high school's large gap between its stellar English scores and its more average math performance, a disparity not seen at the elementary level. Overall, the Liberty School District demonstrates effective support for students, achieving above-average results across both schools even with higher-than-typical economic challenges.
