Summary

Inchelium High School is a very small, rural high school serving 62 students in grades 9-12 within the Inchelium School District in northeastern Washington.

This school has shown remarkable improvement recently, moving from a very low statewide ranking just two years ago to an above-average position today. It spends significantly more per student than the state average, which helps support its small size and high level of economic need among students. Academically, the school has clear strengths, consistently outperforming its own district and recently excelling in English Language Arts and Science, though math scores remain an area for growth. Its performance has historically been volatile, with graduation and dropout rates fluctuating considerably from year to year.

As a small, remote school, there are no other high schools within 20 miles for direct comparison. The school's small size allows for personalized attention, and it has demonstrated effectiveness in serving its community. The recent positive trajectory in test scores and a current favorable student-teacher ratio are promising signs for families considering Inchelium High School.
