Summary:
The Trout Lake School District is a small, rural district in Washington with two schools—Trout Lake Elementary (grades K-4) and Trout Lake School (grades 5-12)—sharing a campus and serving just over 200 students total.
When comparing the two schools, Trout Lake Elementary stands out for its consistently strong performance, earning high state rankings and test scores in both English and math that are above state averages. In contrast, Trout Lake School shows more variability in its rankings but has notable strengths, including a high school graduation rate above the state average and particularly strong 10th-grade English scores.
The most significant finding for parents is a dramatic drop in math performance between grade levels; elementary students excel, but secondary students struggle significantly. Science scores also lag behind the state average at the secondary level. Despite these challenges in upper grades, the district maintains solid performance in English Language Arts overall and has historically succeeded in helping students graduate.
