Tonasket School District

Summary:

The Tonasket School District operates five public schools serving about 1,100 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in a high-poverty rural area of Washington state.

Across the district, academic proficiency generally lags behind state averages, with math being a particular area of concern; however, Tonasket High School stands out for its strong 89% graduation rate and above-average English proficiency. The district includes Tonasket Elementary School, the largest school, Tonasket Middle School, and two alternative high school options: the larger Tonasket Outreach School and the very small Tonasket Choice High School.

While the high school shows strengths, test scores reveal significant challenges, especially in middle and high school math. The alternative Tonasket Outreach School appears to play a key role in supporting at-risk students and contributing to the district's overall high graduation rate. Parents should note that all schools in the district serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which is a common challenge facing the community's schools.
