Summary

Chelan High School is a public high school serving 439 students in grades 9-12 within the Lake Chelan School District, located in a rural region of Washington state.

The school presents a notable mix of strengths and challenges for parents to consider. Its most outstanding achievement is a very high graduation rate of 96.4%, which significantly outpaces the state average and exceeds nearby schools like Entiat Middle and High School and Waterville High School. Academically, its performance in English Language Arts is solid and exceeds the state average, but math proficiency, at 24.66%, is a significant area for improvement, especially when compared to a similar school like Manson High School which achieves 40.48%.

When looking at the bigger picture, the school's performance has been variable in recent years, and there are clear differences in how well various student groups perform, indicating a need for targeted support. With a student-teacher ratio of 17.5:1, it has larger class sizes than some neighboring schools. The school's ability to successfully graduate nearly all of its students, many of whom face economic disadvantages, is commendable, but addressing the math achievement gap will be key to its future improvement.
