Summary:
Tenino School District includes four schools serving grades PK–12 and 1,283 students in the Tenino area: Parkside Elementary (PK–2), Tenino Elementary School (3–5), Tenino Middle School (6–8), and Tenino High School (9–12). The district is ranked 130th of 238 Washington districts in the supplied data, placing it near the middle statewide.
Tenino Elementary School is the strongest recent academic performer. In 2025–2026, it exceeded the district in ELA, math, and science, and its math and science results also surpassed the state. Its ranking improved from the 30th to the 49th percentile in one year, while science proficiency rose more than 17 points. However, fourth-grade results were notably weaker than those in third and fifth grade, making that transition an important area to monitor. Tenino Middle School shows a relative strength in science, but math proficiency was low in every grade and fell to 19.54% in eighth grade. Its ELA and math results were below both district and state levels.
Tenino High School has the district’s strongest graduation profile, with a 90.3% graduation rate and a 6.4% dropout rate, both favorable compared with the state. Science was also a strength, but math proficiency was only 19.59%, well below district and state results, creating a significant gap between graduating and demonstrating grade-level academic skills. Parkside Elementary serves the district’s youngest students and has the lowest reported student-teacher ratio, but this data set does not include test scores or rankings for the school. Overall, science is the district’s most consistent subject strength, while improving math across the elementary-to-secondary transition should be the highest priority.
