College Place School District

College Place School District serves 1,518 students in three schools covering PK–12 in the College Place area, with schools generally ranking near the middle of Washington and the district at the 50th percentile statewide.

College Place High School has the district’s strongest current English Language Arts performance, with 55.83% of students proficient compared with 52.81% statewide, and its 91.3% graduation rate is well above the state rate of 82.6%. Its main challenge is mathematics: only 29.17% of students are proficient, the lowest result among the three schools and 13.94 percentage points below the state. Davis Elementary has the district’s strongest mathematics result at 41.23%, but science is a significant weakness at 35.04%, or 15.91 points below the state. Its upper grades deserve attention, particularly fifth-grade math, ELA, and science. John Sager Middle School is the district’s science standout, with 51.15% proficiency, slightly above the state average, although its ELA and math results trail the state.

For families comparing schools, the clearest districtwide concern is mathematics in the middle and high school years, with especially low results in seventh grade and at the high school. Science performance is uneven: John Sager Middle School is near the state level, while Davis Elementary is substantially below it. Ranking trends also differ: College Place High School improved considerably over three years, John Sager Middle School has fluctuated around the middle, and Davis Elementary has declined. Overall, the district offers a strong graduation outcome and distinct subject-level strengths, but families may want to ask about math support, fifth-grade transitions, and science improvement plans.
