Summary

Deer Park Home Link Program is a K–12 alternative school in Deer Park, Washington, serving 617 students through a flexible home-link learning model within the Deer Park School District. Because students may learn independently, remotely, or with family support, traditional measures such as class size, student-teacher ratio, testing participation, and graduation results may not be directly comparable with conventional schools. The reported student-teacher ratio is 50.5, far higher than at nearby alternative programs, although this may reflect the program’s staffing structure rather than typical classroom size.

The strongest context for families is the district’s completion record: the Deer Park School District reported a 94.4% graduation rate in 2024–25, compared with 82.6% statewide, and a 3.7% dropout rate in 2023–24. These are district-level figures, not current school-specific results, so they should not be treated as exact outcomes for Deer Park Home Link Program. Academic testing is more concerning, especially in math: 19.93% of students were proficient in math, compared with 39.19% in the district and 43.11% statewide. ELA proficiency was 39.39%, while science was 43.27%. High school results were considerably stronger: 10th-grade ELA proficiency reached 74.29%, and 11th-grade science reached 57.89%.

For nearby comparisons, Mead Learning Options and Spokane International Academy posted higher overall ELA, math, and science results, while Mary Walker Alternative Learning Experience had lower ELA and science results. Independent Scholar had a similar math result but stronger ELA performance. Deer Park Home Link Program also spends $10,149 per student, less than most nearby alternatives. Overall, parents may want to focus on the school’s strong older-grade outcomes and district graduation environment while asking how it supports younger students, particularly in math and foundational ELA.
