Summary

East Valley High School is a public grades 9–12 school serving 1,064 students in the Yakima area as part of the East Valley School District (Yakima). The school has a three-star district rating and ranks around the middle of Washington high schools, with a recent 55th-percentile school ranking. Its overall standing has improved substantially from the late 2010s, when it generally ranked in the bottom quarter to lower-middle range statewide.

The school’s clearest strengths are graduation, dropout prevention, and English Language Arts. In 2024–25, 93.5% of students graduated and 2.8% dropped out, compared with 82.6% and 9.8% statewide. In 2025–26, 70.27% of students were proficient in ELA, well above the 52.81% state rate and ahead of Davis High School, which reported 48.67%. East Valley also compares favorably with nearby alternative programs, including Yakima Online and Stanton Academy, although those programs serve different student populations and should not be treated as direct apples-to-apples comparisons.

Mathematics is the school’s largest academic challenge: 26.46% of students were proficient in 2025–26, below the 43.11% statewide rate, and the latest result declined from the prior year. Science also fell recently to 42.5%, compared with 50.95% statewide. Another important concern is special education effectiveness, which ranked at the 14th percentile, despite strong overall graduation results. Outcomes for Hispanic, migrant, and homeless students were comparatively strong, while results for economically disadvantaged students softened. With spending of $14,993 per student and a student-teacher ratio of 22.9, East Valley appears to have moderate resources but may face class-size pressure. Overall, it offers strong completion and ELA outcomes, meaningful long-term improvement, and clear needs in math, science, and special education support.

This school is horrible, the students are very rude and clique like. Basically if you haven't been in a certain group of kids, you won't ever be accepted and happy, also the teachers play favoritism towards students with older siblings. Another thing is how they handle issues isn't well, they ignore a lot of issues and I don't recommend this school. Close Quote
