Summary:
The Wellpinit School District #49 in Washington operates two high schools, Wellpinit High School and Wellpinit Open Doors High School, both serving grades 9-12 on the same campus for a total of 196 students.
Wellpinit High School is the district's main comprehensive school, with a much lower student-teacher ratio (9-to-1) and higher per-student spending ($38,513) than the alternative Open Doors High School, which has a very high ratio of 30 students per teacher and spends $25,899 per student. This spending and staffing disparity is notable for schools sharing a location. Academically, both schools face challenges, with proficiency rates in English and Science at the main high school below state averages, and the district as a whole ranks in the bottom 2% in Washington.
Graduation rates show a significant difference, with Wellpinit High School at 72.7% and Open Doors High School at 39.2%, both below the state average of 82.6%. The alternative program's very low graduation rate and high student-teacher ratio suggest it may be struggling to effectively serve its students. Furthermore, the main high school's statewide ranking fell dramatically recently, indicating the Wellpinit School District #49 is facing systemic challenges that impact both of its high schools.
