Summary

Onalaska High School is a public grades 9–12 school serving 281 students in the small community of Onalaska, Washington, as part of the Onalaska School District. The school ranks in the 44th percentile statewide, with a 2-star rating, but it has improved substantially from the 17th percentile in 2022–23. About 47.33% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, indicating a moderate level of economic need compared with many nearby schools.

Onalaska’s clearest academic strength is English language arts: 61.29% of students were proficient in 2025–26, above both the district’s 44.08% and the state’s 52.81%. That result was competitive with Toledo High School, W F West High School, and Winlock Senior High. Mathematics is the major concern: only 20.63% of students were proficient, the lowest rate among the nearby traditional high schools compared, and well below the state’s 43.11%. Science proficiency was 42.86%, below the state’s 50.95% but higher than Toledo High School and Mossyrock Junior/Senior High School.

Graduation is a relative strength: Onalaska’s 90.0% rate in 2024–25 exceeded the statewide 82.6% rate and was higher than Winlock Senior High and Napavine Junior Senior High School, though it trailed W F West High School and Toledo High School. Overall, the school appears to be improving, but progress is uneven: ELA is strong, science fluctuates, and math has remained near 20% for four straight years. The rising student-teacher ratio, from 15.6 in 2022–23 to 18.7 in 2024–25, is also worth monitoring as the school works to strengthen instruction and achievement.
