Summary:
Castle Rock School District is a small Washington district with four schools serving 1,484 students across grades PK–12, including elementary, middle, high school, and a K–12 virtual program. The district serves a rural community and ranks 190th out of 238 Washington districts in the supplied data. Its schools show some encouraging strengths, but academic results vary considerably by grade and subject.
Castle Rock Elementary has the district’s strongest science results, with 61.86% of students proficient—well above the state rate—and the highest elementary math performance at 33.92%. Its ranking improved to the 30th percentile, although ELA remains relatively weak at 33.04%. Castle Rock High School is the strongest school in ELA, with 55.21% proficiency, slightly above the state average, and its 88% graduation rate exceeds both the district and state rates. However, high school math is a major concern: only 16.67% of students are proficient, and science performance is also below state levels.
Castle Rock Middle School has made the largest ranking improvement, rising from the 6th to the 22nd percentile over three years, while improving in every tested subject in the latest year. Even so, math remains especially weak, with only 16.09% proficiency in eighth grade. Across the district, mathematics is the most urgent challenge, while recent science gains—particularly at elementary and middle school—are promising. Castle Rock Virtual Academy enrolls just 13 students, and its test, ranking, and graduation data are unavailable, so its performance cannot be meaningfully compared with the other schools.
