Summary:
The Inchelium School District in rural Washington is served by one high school, Inchelium High School, which enrolls about 62 students in grades 9 through 12.
Inchelium High School has shown remarkable academic improvement in recent years, jumping from being ranked in the bottom 7% of Washington high schools in 2022-2023 to the top 38% in 2024-2025. The school excels particularly in English Language Arts, where 70% of students are proficient, significantly outperforming the state average. Its graduation rate of 75% is also strong, approaching the state average despite the high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
While the school's performance in mathematics still lags behind the state average, the overall dramatic turnaround is a notable success story. With a low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, the school is well-resourced to support its small student body. Parents should note that as a very small school, year-to-year percentages can fluctuate more than in larger schools, but the clear upward trend in overall performance is a very positive sign for the community.
