Summary:
The Waterville School District contains one high school, Waterville High School, which serves grades 6 through 12 in a rural Washington community with a total enrollment of 127 students.
Waterville High School shows notable strengths in specific areas, particularly in 7th-grade English and Math and 11th-grade Science, where student proficiency significantly outpaces state averages. The school also maintains an 85% graduation rate, which is above the state average, a commendable outcome given that over half of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. However, overall academic performance is mixed, with math proficiency across all grades trailing the state average, and the school's state ranking has declined over the past three years from the 77th to the 67th percentile.
Despite high per-student spending, the school faces the challenge of translating those resources into consistent academic achievement across all grade levels. Parents should note the school's success in supporting students to graduation while recognizing the variability in test scores by subject and grade. The performance closely mirrors the Waterville School District averages, and the district itself is ranked above average statewide, suggesting a generally supportive educational environment with specific areas for potential improvement.
