Summary:
This analysis covers one high school, Summit Public School: Olympus, a public charter school in Tacoma, Washington serving grades 9-12 with 110 students.
Summit Public School: Olympus shows a mixed performance profile. On a positive note, its 84% graduation rate is slightly above the state average, and it benefits from small class sizes with a 10-to-1 student-teacher ratio. However, academic proficiency scores are a significant concern, particularly in math where only 10% of students are proficient compared to the 42.6% state average. Scores in English and science are also below state benchmarks. The school's state ranking has fallen over the last three years, placing it in the bottom 11% of Washington high schools for the 2024-2025 year.
With a per-student spending of over $22,000, the school is well-resourced, but these investments have not yet translated into stronger academic outcomes. For parents, this school demonstrates a strong ability to support students through to graduation but faces clear challenges in ensuring students master core academic subjects, especially mathematics, before they graduate.
