Summary:
Toutle Lake School District in Washington contains one high school, Toutle Lake High School, which serves grades 7 through 12 with an enrollment of 308 students, serving a community with a moderate-to-high level of economic need.
Toutle Lake High School shows a clear mix of strengths and challenges. Its greatest strengths are in keeping students engaged, with a graduation rate of 80% that is close to the state average and a dropout rate that is less than half the state's. The school has also shown positive momentum, improving its statewide ranking over the past three years. However, academic proficiency on state tests is a significant area for growth, as scores in English, math, and science are substantially below state averages, with middle school grades showing particularly low scores.
For parents, this indicates a school environment that successfully supports students through to graduation but where core academic achievement, especially in earlier grades, lags behind. The district's higher average proficiency scores suggest elementary schools may be performing better, placing focus on the high school's academic programs. The school's recent ranking improvement is a positive sign of progress, and its ability to graduate students at a solid rate despite test scores suggests strong alternative support systems are in place within the Toutle Lake School District.
