Summary

Mary Walker High School is a small, rural high school serving 151 students in grades 9-12 in Springdale, WA, within the Mary Walker School District.

Academic performance at the school has declined significantly in recent years, now ranking in the bottom 7% of Washington high schools, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science well below state averages. This downward trend is notable compared to nearby schools like Riverside High School and Lakeside High School, which have maintained stronger rankings.
