Digital Learning Center

Digital Learning Center is a small public school in Moses Lake, Washington, serving 359 students in grades 6–12 within the Moses Lake School District. Its grade span and likely flexible or nontraditional learning model make it different from a conventional high school, so results should be considered alongside student needs and program type.

The school’s recent outcomes show important challenges. It ranked 364th of 396 Washington schools in 2025–26, at the 8th percentile, down from the 21st percentile in 2022–23. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 72.7%, below the district’s 84.4% and Washington’s 82.6%, while its dropout rate reached 16.6%, higher than the district’s 12.1% and the state’s 9.8%. Academic performance is especially weak in math: 15.93% of students were proficient in 2025–26, compared with 31.43% districtwide and 43.11% statewide. English Language Arts proficiency was 33.33%, also below district and state results. Sixth grade stands out as a relative bright spot, with 40% proficiency in both subjects, while performance drops notably in the middle grades.

Compared with Moses Lake High School, Digital Learning Center had lower 2025–26 ELA and math proficiency and a lower graduation rate of 72.7% versus 89.2%. It also ranked below Vanguard Academy, although its math proficiency was higher than Vanguard’s 10.0%. Its student-teacher ratio rose from 19.0 to 29.9 between 2022–23 and 2024–25, which may make individualized support more difficult. The most important priorities appear to be improving progress in grades 7–10, reducing disengagement and dropout, strengthening credit completion, and understanding how staffing and resources can better support students.
