Raymond Junior Senior High School

Raymond Junior Senior High School is a public school in Raymond, WA, serving about 240 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Raymond School District, which ranks in the bottom 15% of districts statewide.

Academic performance at Raymond Junior Senior High School is significantly below state averages, with a particular struggle in mathematics where only about 16% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 43%. The school's statewide ranking has seen a steep decline over the past decade, dropping from the 84th percentile to the 3rd percentile. While the school serves a high-need population, with over two-thirds of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, comparisons show that challenges extend beyond demographics. For instance, South Bend High School in the South Bend School District serves a similarly high-need population but achieves notably higher proficiency rates in all core subjects.

When compared to nearby schools, Raymond spends less per student than both Willapa Valley Middle-High and South Bend. Willapa Valley, part of the higher-ranked Willapa Valley School District, serves a lower-need student population and spends more per student, resulting in substantially stronger academic outcomes. The data suggests Raymond faces systemic challenges requiring a close examination of instructional strategies and resource allocation to better support student learning and reverse its declining performance trajectory.
