Summary

Moses Lake High School is a large public school in Moses Lake, Washington, serving grades 9–12 with 1,856 students in the Moses Lake area. Its size and relatively high-need enrollment provide important context: 57.6% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, and the student-teacher ratio was 26.2.

The school’s completion outcomes are a notable strength. In 2024–25, 89.2% of students graduated, above the Moses Lake School District rate of 84.4% and the Washington rate of 82.6%. Its 9.5% dropout rate was also slightly below the state’s 9.8%. Ephrata High School had stronger completion results, with a 92.4% graduation rate and a 4.2% dropout rate, but Moses Lake High compared favorably with Warden High School and nearby alternative programs. The school’s statewide standing has improved from the 27th percentile in 2022–23 to the 43rd percentile in 2025–26, although it remains below the state midpoint.

Academically, English Language Arts and science are relative strengths, while math is the clearest challenge. In 2025–26, proficiency was 50.66% in ELA, 48.59% in science, and 24.12% in math. ELA and science exceeded district results, while math remained well below both the district and state. Moses Lake High also posted stronger reported scores than Digital Learning Center and Vanguard Academy, though those programs serve different populations. Important areas for families to watch are sustained math improvement, support for English learners, and outcomes for students receiving special education services, whose latest subgroup ranking was at the 0th percentile.
