Summary:
The Reardan-Edwall School District in Washington serves about 725 students across three schools: an elementary (K-6), a combined middle-senior high school (6-12), and a K-12 alternative program, with the district ranking in the top third statewide.
Families will find a notable difference in performance between the Reardan Elementary School and the Reardan Middle-Senior High School. The high school is a clear standout, with graduation rates and science scores well above state averages and a ranking in the top quartile of Washington schools. In contrast, the elementary school's ranking has recently declined, with most test scores below state averages, particularly in math, which is a challenge across the district.
Despite the elementary-level challenges, the district's overall 90% graduation rate is a significant strength. The Reardan-Edwall School District Options' Program provides an alternative pathway, though it operates with lower per-student spending. For parents, the data suggests students receive strong support in later grades, leading to successful high school outcomes, but may benefit from earlier academic interventions.
