Summary:
The Kittitas School District operates two high schools serving a small, rural community: the comprehensive Kittitas High School (grades 6-12) and the specialized Parke Creek Treatment Center (grades 8-12), which together serve 329 students.
Kittitas High School is the district's main high school, educating 96% of the area's high school students. It shows notable strengths, including a graduation rate of 86% that exceeds the state average, and particularly high performance in 10th grade English and 11th grade science. However, math proficiency is an area for improvement, as scores are below the state average. The smaller Parke Creek Treatment Center provides an alternative setting with a very low student-teacher ratio, reflecting its specialized role for students needing targeted support.
For parents, the data reveals a school that successfully supports students to graduation and excels in specific subjects and grade levels, especially in later high school years. Performance dips in middle school grades (7th and 8th) suggest these may be key transition years. The district's investment in a specialized alternative school indicates a commitment to serving diverse learning needs, though the academic performance of the district is primarily reflected by the larger comprehensive high school.
