Clarkston School District

Summary:

The Clarkston School District in Washington operates 10 schools serving grades PK-12, showing a mix of strong performers and significant challenges across its 2,495 students.

Among the district's schools, Charles Francis Adams High School stands out with a 92% graduation rate and strong English scores, while Heights Elementary excels particularly in science. In contrast, Grantham Elementary and the Educational Opportunity Center face substantial academic hurdles, with the alternative high school showing a very low graduation rate of 36%.

The district's overall academic performance trails state averages, with particular weakness in middle school math at Lincoln Middle School. Interestingly, Grantham Elementary receives the highest per-student funding despite its struggles, suggesting resources alone don't guarantee success. The virtual school, Discovery Virtual School, performs respectably in English despite very large class sizes, indicating different educational models may work for different students.
