Summary:
The Toutle Lake School District is a small, rural district in Washington with two schools—Toutle Lake Elementary (K-6) and Toutle Lake High School (7-12)—sharing a campus and serving 673 students.
Comparing the two schools reveals distinct performance patterns. Toutle Lake Elementary shows a notable strength in 5th-grade science, outperforming the state average, and generally performs closer to state benchmarks in core subjects. In contrast, Toutle Lake High School faces significant academic challenges, especially in middle school grades (7-8), where proficiency rates in math and science are far below state averages; however, performance improves in later high school grades, with 10th-grade English and 11th-grade science nearing state levels.
Key takeaways for the district include a concerning drop in science performance from elementary to high school and a critical need for middle school intervention. Despite these academic struggles, the district maintains a graduation rate near the state average and a historically low dropout rate, suggesting strong student support. Overall, while the elementary school has areas of success, the district ranks in the lower percentile statewide, indicating systemic challenges that require targeted strategies to improve outcomes across all grade levels.
