Summary

Charles Francis Adams High School is a public high school serving about 670 students in grades 9-12 within the Clarkston School District in southeastern Washington, and it is a school showing strong, recent improvement in its statewide ranking.

The school has made impressive gains, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating over the past three years, and it excels in two key areas: getting students to graduation and teaching English. Its graduation rate of over 92% is well above state and district averages, and student proficiency in English Language Arts is notably strong, especially in 10th grade. The school also shows effective support for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. However, math and science proficiency scores are more moderate, and there is a noticeable performance gap between male and female students.

Interesting comparisons can be made with nearby schools. Within its own district, Educational Opportunity Center, an alternative program, has much lower rankings and graduation rates. Just across the river, Asotin Junior Senior High in the Asotin-Anatone School District maintains a higher overall ranking, though it serves a student population with less economic need. This contrast highlights Charles Francis Adams High School's role as a improving school with particular strengths in student persistence and language arts.
