High Schools in College Place School District

The College Place School District in Washington operates two high schools serving grades 9-12: the comprehensive College Place High School and the smaller, alternative College Place Open Doors Program.

College Place High School is the district's main high school with nearly 500 students and a strong 91.3% graduation rate that exceeds the state average. It performs particularly well in English Language Arts but, like many schools, faces challenges in math proficiency. In contrast, the College Place Open Doors Program serves about 13 students with a much lower graduation rate and a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Overall, the district's high school graduation rate is a notable strength. However, there is a significant performance and resource gap between the two schools, with per-student spending at the traditional high school being five times higher than at the alternative program. Parents should note the positive improvement trend at College Place High School, while the district may need to address support for its alternative program and math instruction across the board.
