Summary

South Bend High School is a public junior-senior high school serving grades 7–12 for about 258 students in a rural coastal community within the South Bend School District, where a high percentage of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school is rated average compared to others in Washington, holding a 2-star rating and performing around the 41st percentile. When compared to nearby schools, it sits in the middle: it outperforms the closest school, Raymond Junior Senior High School, in all subjects, especially math, but trails behind higher-performing Naselle-Grays River Valley Junior Senior High Schools. A notable strength for South Bend High School is science, where student proficiency exceeds that of all three comparison schools.

The school invests more money per student than its neighbors, yet test scores and rankings remain in the average range. Performance for different groups of students has varied from year to year, though there are recent signs of improvement for students from low-income families. The school's graduation rate, while below the state average, has historically been higher and shows resilience in recovering from pandemic-era dips more steadily than some area schools like Willapa Valley Middle-High.
