Summary

Mary Walker High School is a small public school serving grades 9–12 in Springdale, Washington, with 151 students in a rural community. It is part of the Mary Walker School District, which ranks at the 8th percentile statewide; the high school ranks at the 15th percentile and received one star. The school serves a relatively high-need population: 68.87% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Its small enrollment can make results fluctuate considerably from year to year and can lead to suppressed scores when too few students are tested.

English language arts is Mary Walker’s clearest academic strength. In 2025–2026, 43.33% of students were proficient, above the district’s 35.15% but below the state’s 52.81%. That result was higher than at Wellpinit High School and Deer Park Achievement High School, but well below nearby Riverside High School, Lakeside High School, and Deer Park High School. Math remains a concern: the current school result is suppressed and should not be treated as zero, while the latest available result was 15.63% in 2023–2024. Science proficiency was 27.03%, close to the district but far below the state and most nearby traditional high schools.

Mary Walker’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 80.0%, near the state’s 82.6% but below the 94%–96% rates reported by Riverside, Lakeside, and Deer Park. The school’s ranking and ELA results improved from the prior year, although they remain below the stronger levels seen in 2017–2019. Subgroup effectiveness rankings were especially low for male students and students from low-income households, so continued support in these areas may be important. Per-student spending was $18,726, somewhat higher than at Riverside, Lakeside, and Deer Park, while the student-teacher ratio of 19.6 was not unusually low for a small school. Overall, the main priorities are sustaining the ELA recovery, improving math and science, and raising graduation outcomes.
