Wenatchee School District

Summary:

The Wenatchee School District in Washington includes 17 schools serving grades K-12, plus alternative programs, with a mix of standout performers and schools facing significant academic challenges.

Among the district's schools, Sunnyslope Elementary School and Valley Academy of Learning K-8 are top-rated, consistently outperforming state averages, while Lewis And Clark Elementary School and Westside High School have much lower proficiency and graduation rates. The district's main high school, Wenatchee High School, has a strong 92.8% graduation rate, but the district as a whole struggles with math, performing well below the state average.

There are notable differences between schools serving similar grades, such as the three middle schools where Foothills Middle School outperforms Pioneer Middle School and Orchard Middle School. Alternative schools like Open Doors Re-Engagement serve specialized populations with very low graduation rates, indicating these programs face distinct challenges.
