Summary:
The Lopez School District on Lopez Island, Washington, is a small, two-school district serving 202 students from kindergarten through 12th grade at Lopez Elementary School (K-6) and Lopez Middle High School (7-12).
Comparing the two schools reveals a notable performance difference. Lopez Middle High School is the stronger performer, with a high state ranking, an 88% graduation rate well above the state average, and exceptional science scores, including 80% proficiency in 11th grade. In contrast, Lopez Elementary School has shown recent volatility in its state ranking and struggles notably with math proficiency, which sits significantly below the state average.
Overall, the district excels in science and graduation rates but faces challenges in math, particularly at the elementary level. Both schools have small class sizes and high per-student spending, but also serve a student population with high economic need. The middle high school's consistent improvement and strengths offer a positive model within the close-knit island community served by the Lopez School District.
