Summary:

The Olympia School District, serving grades 9-12 in Washington's capital area, includes three high schools: Olympia High School, Capital High School, and the smaller alternative Avanti High School, all part of the highly-rated Olympia School District.

Olympia High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 29th in the state with the highest graduation rate and strongest scores in math and science. Capital High School is a solid mid-sized school with performance above state averages. Avanti High School offers a unique, personalized environment with a very low student-teacher ratio and the highest English proficiency, though its overall state ranking dropped significantly this year.

As a group, these schools consistently outperform Washington state averages in graduation rates and test scores. A notable finding is that higher per-student spending does not directly correlate with better academic results in this district. Parents should note a district-wide opportunity for improvement in math, and the dramatic shift in Avanti's ranking may warrant further questions. Overall, the Olympia School District provides strong high school options, with each school catering to different needs and learning environments.
