High Schools in Rainier School District

Summary:

The Rainier School District contains one high school, Rainier Senior High School, serving grades 9-12 with 283 students, where nearly half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Rainier Senior High School shows a clear strength in English Language Arts, where its 68% proficiency rate significantly outpaces both the district and state averages. The school also excels in supporting students to graduation, boasting a 95% graduation rate that is well above the state average. However, math proficiency, at 38%, is an area for improvement as it lags behind both district and state averages.

While the school's statewide ranking has slightly declined in recent years, it remains a solidly performing school within the top half of Washington high schools. With per-student spending above the national average, the school is adequately resourced. For families, the school demonstrates strong student support and exceptional results in English, but parents may want to inquire about the specific math curriculum and support available to help students in that subject area.
