Summary

Columbia Virtual Academy - Kettle Falls is a public virtual high school in Kettle Falls, Washington, serving grades 9–12 and 419 students through the Kettle Falls School District. Located at the same address as Kettle Falls High School, it is larger than that nearby school but smaller than Colville Senior High School. Because its virtual program may serve students with different schedules, needs, and enrollment patterns, comparisons with traditional high schools should be viewed as useful context rather than exact measures of school quality.

The academy’s strongest academic area is English Language Arts: 56.72% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, slightly above Kettle Falls High School and the statewide rate of 52.81%. However, ELA performance has declined from 70.69% in 2022–2023. Mathematics is a persistent concern, with just 20.63% proficiency compared with 27.66% at Kettle Falls High School and 33.04% at Colville Senior High School. Science also dropped sharply to 36.84%, well below both nearby schools. These results contributed to a statewide ranking of 269th out of 396 high schools, or the 32nd percentile, down from the 78th–79th percentile in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022.

Graduation and dropout outcomes have improved meaningfully but remain important concerns. The graduation rate rose to 68.9% in 2024–2025, up from 45.4% in 2020–2021, while the dropout rate fell to 21.5% from 42.4%; still, graduation remained below the state’s 82.6% rate and dropout was more than twice the statewide 9.8%. The school also reported a much higher student-teacher ratio—33.7 to 1—than Kettle Falls High School or Colville Senior High School. Overall, the clearest priorities are strengthening math and science, sustaining ELA, and helping more students remain enrolled through graduation.
