Summary:
Kiona-Benton City School District contains one high school, Kiona-Benton City High School, serving grades 9-12 with 435 students in a relatively affluent area where only 13.33% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite having above-average per-student funding and a more affluent student population, Kiona-Benton City High School performs significantly below state averages in most subjects, ranking in the bottom 10% of Washington high schools. The school shows a severe and critical challenge in mathematics, with only 9.82% of students proficient compared to the 42.63% state average, though it performs notably better than its very low-ranked Kiona-Benton City School District in English and Science.
The graduation rate of 77.4% is below the state average, and the school's statewide ranking has declined over recent years, indicating a disconnect between its resources and student outcomes. For parents, this suggests the school, while better than its district in some areas, requires targeted improvement, especially in mathematics instruction, to help students achieve at levels expected given its financial and demographic context.
