Port Angeles School District

Summary:

The Port Angeles School District operates ten schools serving roughly 3,460 students from preschool through 12th grade, ranking in the top third of Washington districts overall.

The district features several standout schools, including Hamilton Elementary and Dry Creek Elementary, which are top performers in the state with particularly strong science scores, while Port Angeles High School excels in English Language Arts and has a solid graduation rate. In contrast, Lincoln High School and Seaview Academy face significant challenges with lower graduation rates and academic proficiency.

Key takeaways show the district performs above the state average in English and science but struggles more with math, a gap seen across most schools. The performance of alternative schools like Seaview Academy, which has a very high dropout rate, significantly lowers the district's overall graduation average. The data suggests successful practices at the higher-performing elementary schools could provide a model for addressing challenges at other levels.
