Summary

White Swan High School is a small public school serving grades 9–12 in White Swan, Washington, with 252 students in the high-need Mount Adams School District. The school is located about 14–18 miles from several larger high schools, including West Valley High School, Wapato High School, Eisenhower High School, and Davis High School.

The school’s strongest recent improvement is graduation: its rate rose from 54.7% in 2022–23 to 85.0% in 2024–25, exceeding Washington’s 82.6% rate. However, academic test results remain a concern. In 2025–26, 21.82% of students were proficient in English language arts and 15.38% in science, both well below state levels. The current math result was suppressed by the state, so it is unknown rather than zero; the most recent reported math result was 7.69% in 2023–24. White Swan ranked 394th of 396 Washington high schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 1st percentile. Its results were generally below nearby traditional schools, including Wapato High School, which had 39.04% ELA proficiency and a 93.4% graduation rate.

White Swan has notable structural advantages: its 9.4 student-teacher ratio is far lower than nearby schools, which ranged from 18.4 at Wapato High School to 22.9 at West Valley High School. Per-student spending was also high at $28,376 in 2023–24. These features have not yet produced consistently strong test performance, suggesting that families may want to ask about attendance, intervention, course access, credit recovery, and how staffing resources are used. West Valley High School offers a useful regional benchmark, with a 91.1% graduation rate and much stronger ELA and science results, though its student population and community context differ substantially.
