Summary:
The Chimacum School District in Washington serves approximately 704 students across four public schools, ranging from primary grades through high school, including an alternative program.
Among the district's schools, Chimacum Junior/Senior High School stands out as the strongest performer, with the highest state ranking, an improving 3-star rating, and a strong 87% graduation rate that exceeds state averages. In contrast, the PI Program alternative school shows the most significant challenges, with the lowest test scores and graduation rate in the district alongside much higher student-teacher ratios. Chimacum Elementary School demonstrates a notable strength in science, outperforming state averages, while Chimacum Creek Primary School serves the youngest students.
Overall, the district performs below state averages in core academic subjects, particularly in mathematics, but achieves a graduation rate slightly above the state average. Interesting findings include dramatic improvements in English scores between 4th and 5th grades at the elementary level and significant year-to-year fluctuations in school rankings. The district serves a student population with high economic need, and resource allocation varies considerably between the traditional schools and the alternative program.
