Summary:
The Okanogan School District has three high-school-level schools serving grades 6–12 in the Okanogan area: Okanogan High School, a comprehensive grades 9–12 school; Okanogan Outreach Alternative School, serving grades 6–12; and Okanogan Alternative High School, serving grades 9–12.
Okanogan High School is the largest school, with 308 students, and has the strongest overall academic profile. In 2025–2026, 55.7% of students were proficient in English language arts, 26.25% in math, and 58.73% in science. Its ELA and science results exceeded district averages, while math was its clearest weakness and also a broader district challenge. The school’s ranking history was stronger than the alternative programs, although its ranking declined from the 67th to the 57th percentile between the last two reported years. Families should view science as a notable strength and math as an important improvement area.
Okanogan Outreach Alternative School enrolls 72 students and reports lower current test results, a 67.5% graduation rate, and a 24.3% dropout rate. Its ELA proficiency fell notably from the prior year, making staffing, enrollment changes, attendance, and student support worth examining. Okanogan Alternative High School is much smaller, with 14 students, and reports a 19% graduation rate and 42.8% dropout rate. Those percentages may be strongly affected by very small cohorts, while its suppressed test results should be treated as unknown rather than poor performance. Outreach serves the highest reported level of economic need and has a higher student-teacher ratio, so comparisons should account for the different missions and student populations of these programs.
