Summary

Quilcene High And Elementary is a small public alternative school in the rural Quilcene area of Washington, serving 207 students in prekindergarten through grade 12 through the Quilcene School District. The school has a 15.1:1 student-teacher ratio, and 61.84% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Its 2023–24 spending was $28,630 per student, higher than most nearby alternative programs.

Academically, English Language Arts is the clearest recent strength. In 2025–26, 50.00% of students were proficient in ELA, close to Washington’s 52.81% and up from 31.58% in 2023–24. Third-grade ELA was especially strong at 69.23%, compared with 48.84% statewide. Science also rebounded to 42.86%, up from 22.86% the year before, though it remained below the state rate. Math is the main concern: 33.00% were proficient, compared with 43.11% statewide, and results were below the state comparison in every grade with a reported school result. Several grade-level results were suppressed, meaning they are unknown rather than zero.

Quilcene’s reported graduation outcomes have generally been stronger than its test results, including 88.0% in 2022–23, although its latest school-level rate was not reported; the 82.6% figure shown is the state rate, not a Quilcene result. Compared with nearby alternatives, Quilcene had higher 2025–26 math and science results than Chief Kitsap Academy and stronger ELA and science than PI Program, while Barker Creek Community School had higher ELA and science results. Small cohorts and different alternative-school missions can cause substantial year-to-year variation, so the overall picture is a school with encouraging ELA and science momentum, solid completion outcomes, and a persistent need to strengthen math.
