Summary:
The Toledo School District in Washington is a small, rural district with four schools serving about 900 students from preschool through 12th grade, though it ranks in the bottom half of districts statewide with a 2-star rating.
Among the schools, Toledo High School stands out as the strongest, with a 3-star rating, an excellent 92% graduation rate, and particularly high English proficiency. In contrast, Toledo Middle School is a notable area for improvement, ranking in the state's bottom quartile with declining performance. Toledo Elementary School provides a more balanced academic foundation, performing closest to state averages in math, while Cowlitz Prairie Academy is a very small alternative high school with the highest economic need but the lowest per-student spending in the district.
Key takeaways include a significant performance gap between subjects at the high school, with math proficiency lagging far behind English, and a critical need to address declining middle school results. The district's high graduation rate is a strength, but overall academic proficiency, especially in math and science, trails state averages. There are also large differences in resources between schools, with spending per student at the alternative high school being less than half that of the traditional high school.
