Summary

Lyle High School is a very small, rural public high school serving grades 9-12 with just 48 students in the Lyle School District.

The school provides a highly personalized environment with a low student-teacher ratio of 10-to-1 and spends significantly more per student than most nearby schools, including Columbia High School. However, its academic performance has shown considerable ups and downs from year to year, more so than the more stable Columbia High School. While graduation rates have recovered strongly after a sharp pandemic drop, test scores in core subjects like science remain below the state average.

When compared to other small schools in the area, Lyle High School sits between two very different models: the exceptionally high-performing and well-resourced Pacific Crest Innovation Academy and the White Salmon Academy, which operates with a much higher student-teacher ratio. The school's small size means the performance of individual students can greatly affect yearly percentages, contributing to its volatile rankings.
