Summary:
The South Bend School District in Washington has one high school, South Bend High School, which serves a small, rural community with grades 7 through 12 and an enrollment of 258 students.
South Bend High School shows a clear positive trajectory, having improved its state ranking significantly in the past year. While test scores in English, math, and science are generally below the state average, the school has notable strengths, including 7th-grade math scores that exceed the state average and a historically low dropout rate. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.7 to 1.
Families should note the school serves a high-need population, with over 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this challenge and a graduation rate below the state average, the school's recent improvement in statewide ranking is a promising sign. The district invests considerable resources, spending over $26,000 per student, to support its educational programs in this unique 7-12 setting.
