Summary:

The Hoquiam School District operates six public schools serving about 1,560 students from Pre-K through 12th grade in a community with high economic need.

Among the district's schools, Hoquiam High School stands out as the strongest performer, with a graduation rate and science scores that exceed state averages, showing notable improvement in recent years. At the elementary level, Lincoln Elementary has the best math and science scores, while Emerson Elementary (PreK-1) has the smallest class sizes. In contrast, Hoquiam Homelink School, the district's alternative school, faces significant challenges with very low graduation and proficiency rates.

Overall, the district struggles academically, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science significantly below state averages; math is the weakest subject across all grade levels. The high school's success is a positive sign, but students enter high school from Hoquiam Middle School and Central Elementary School performing well below state standards, indicating a need for stronger academic foundations in the earlier grades.
