Summary
Battle Ground High School is a large public school serving grades 9–12 in Battle Ground, Washington, with 1,759 students. Located in the growing Clark County area, it is part of the Battle Ground School District. The school ranks in the 62nd percentile statewide for 2025–2026, up from the 50th percentile in 2022–2023, indicating meaningful overall improvement.
Academically, the school’s clearest strength is English Language Arts, where 66.67% of students were proficient in 2025–2026—well above both the district’s 50.55% and Washington’s 52.81%. Math is the main challenge: proficiency was 33.33%, below the district and state, although it has improved from 28.57% in 2022–2023. Science proficiency was 46.39%, slightly below district and state results. Compared with nearby Prairie High School, Battle Ground performed better in ELA, math, and science and had a higher statewide ranking. However, it trails schools such as Hockinson High School, Ridgefield High School, and La Center High School in overall ranking and usually in math.
Graduation outcomes are encouraging: Battle Ground’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 87.9%, above the district’s 80.6% and the state’s 82.6%, while its 7.2% dropout rate was below both. The school also has a relatively favorable 18.8 student-teacher ratio and spends $19,115 per student, among the higher amounts reported for larger nearby schools. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: results are especially strong for English Language Learners, Hispanic students, and students from low-income households, while students receiving special education services ranked at the 5th percentile statewide. For parents, the main questions are how the school is addressing math achievement, fluctuating science results, and special education support while maintaining its strong ELA, graduation, and persistence outcomes.
