Summary:
Concrete School District in Washington serves grades 7-12 through its single high school, Concrete High School, which enrolls 219 students in a community with high economic need.
Concrete High School has shown remarkable recent improvement, jumping from the 14th to the 52nd percentile in state rankings in just one year and increasing its star rating from 1 to 3. The school invests significantly in its students, with spending over $24,000 per pupil, and has a key strength in 10th-grade performance, where English and math proficiency meets or exceeds state averages.
Despite this progress, challenges remain, including a graduation rate below the state average, a higher-than-average dropout rate, and notably low proficiency in mathematics overall at 17.8%. Performance in middle school grades is also significantly lower than in high school, indicating a critical area for support. For parents, this paints a picture of a school in the Concrete School District that is actively improving and dedicating substantial resources but where student success, particularly in math and through the middle school years, requires continued focus.
