Summary:
This analysis focuses on a single high school, Intergenerational High School, a small public school in Washington serving 107 students in grades 9-12 within the Intergenerational High School district.
Intergenerational High School presents a complex and contrasting academic profile. On one hand, it demonstrates truly exceptional strength in science, with a perfect 100% proficiency rate that more than doubles the state average. This outstanding performance contributed to the school improving its statewide ranking and earning a higher rating this year. However, the school faces significant challenges in overall student success, with a graduation rate of 34.3% and a dropout rate of 28.1%, both metrics far worse than state averages. Performance in English Language Arts is also below the state average.
This creates a notable paradox where students excel in a core subject but many do not complete their diplomas. The school operates with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and has very high per-student spending, suggesting substantial resources are available. For parents, this school represents a unique case where a targeted program appears to produce stellar results in science, but broader support systems may need strengthening to improve graduation outcomes and consistency across all subjects.
