High Schools in Ritzville School District

Summary:

The Ritzville School District in Washington contains one high school, Ritzville High School, a small rural school serving grades 9-12 with 133 students and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7 to 1.

Ritzville High School shows clear academic strengths, significantly outperforming both district and state averages in English Language Arts (70% proficient) and Science (65.38% proficient). However, the school faces a significant challenge in mathematics, where proficiency is 23.33%, notably below state averages. This disparity between subjects is the school's most striking academic feature.

While well-resourced with per-student spending above typical averages, the school's state ranking has declined in recent years despite its strengths in English and Science. Furthermore, graduation rates are below the state average, suggesting factors beyond core academic performance may affect student completion. For parents, this indicates a school environment capable of high achievement in specific areas but one that may require targeted support for math and student engagement to improve overall outcomes.
