Summary:

The Yakima School District operates 25 schools serving grades PK-12 for about 13,000 students, ranking in the bottom 10% of Washington districts while achieving an above-average graduation rate.

Performance varies widely across schools, with Gilbert Elementary School and Nob Hill Elementary School standing out as the district's top elementary performers, while Davis High School leads with a 91.4% graduation rate. In contrast, schools like Washington Middle School and Adams Elementary School face significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 5% and 3% of state schools, respectively.

The district's alternative high schools, such as Yakima Open Doors and Stanton Academy, serve highly at-risk populations with very low graduation rates, highlighting a different set of student needs. Math proficiency is a critical area for improvement district-wide, with high school scores particularly low, though the district's overall ability to graduate students remains a relative strength.
