Summary:
Rooted School Washington is a single, small public charter high school in Vancouver serving grades 9-12, operating as its own district with a total enrollment of just 58 students.
This school stands out for its exceptionally high level of resources, including a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.6:1 and an extraordinary per-student spending of $70,764, which is several times the state average. Despite this significant investment and a personalized learning environment, the school's academic performance, particularly in math where only 15.38% of students are proficient, is below state averages, resulting in a low state ranking of 360 out of 438 high schools and a 1-star rating. It's important to note the school serves a population where 58.62% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
The analysis reveals a notable performance gap, with students at Rooted School Washington performing closer to the state average in English Language Arts than in mathematics. As the Rooted School Washington district consists solely of this one school, its model represents a unique case of intensive resource allocation for a small, high-needs student body, with outcomes that show room for growth relative to its high level of investment.
