High Schools in Toppenish School District

The Toppenish School District operates two public high schools, Toppenish High School (grades 9-12) and Computer Academy Toppenish High School (grades 6-12), serving over 1,150 students in a community with high economic need.

There is a dramatic performance gap between the two schools. Toppenish High School is a standout with an excellent 98.2% graduation rate and a low dropout rate, contributing to strong overall district averages. In contrast, Computer Academy Toppenish High School faces significant challenges, with a graduation rate of only 49.0% and a very high dropout rate of 19.6%, placing it among the lowest-performing schools historically.

While both schools have test scores below state averages, Toppenish High School shows recent improvement and benefits from more resources per student and a lower student-teacher ratio. The district's positive overall metrics are largely due to the main high school's success, which masks the acute struggles at the computer academy, where students receive less funding and are in more crowded classrooms.
