Summary:

The White Salmon Valley School District consists of five schools serving about 1,078 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, ranking in the top third of districts statewide with an overall consistent performance.

Parents will find notable strengths at different levels: Hulan L Whitson Elementary stands out for its strong math performance, significantly exceeding state averages, while Columbia High School leads with an excellent graduation rate. However, a clear dip in test scores occurs in the middle grades at Wallace & Priscilla Stevenson Intermediate School and Wayne M Henkle Middle School, which is a common challenge the district is working to address.

The alternative White Salmon Academy shows concerning metrics like a high dropout rate and very large class sizes, suggesting it may need additional support. Overall, the district is on an improving trend, with pockets of excellence in elementary academics and high school graduation, but faces ongoing work to ensure steady student progress through all grade levels and equitable resources across all programs.
