St John/Endicott High

St John/Endicott High is a very small public high school in Saint John, Washington, serving 60 students in grades 9–12 within the St. John School District. The school offers a low student-teacher ratio of 10.2-to-1, making it well suited to close relationships and individualized attention. The district ranks in the 68th percentile statewide, while the school ranks in the 47th percentile among Washington high schools, reflecting results that have varied considerably from year to year.

English language arts is the clearest current strength: 61.11% of students were proficient in 2025–26, above the Washington rate of 52.81% and the 55.1% rate at nearby Oakesdale High School. However, Colfax High School was higher at 67.42%. Mathematics is the major concern, with only 25% proficient, compared with 43.11% statewide, 44.9% at Oakesdale, and 51.52% at Colfax. This creates a substantial gap between the school’s literacy and math results. Science has also looked promising, with proficiency above the state rate in 2023–24 and 2024–25, although the latest school result was suppressed to protect student privacy and should be considered unknown.

The school serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students—55% in 2024–25—than Oakesdale (42.5%) or Colfax (29.66%), an important factor when comparing outcomes. Its per-student spending is also higher, partly because fixed costs are spread across a very small enrollment. Historical graduation and dropout figures raise questions: graduation was 78.9% and dropout was 21.0% in 2021–22, but newer school-specific figures are unavailable. Overall, families may see a close-knit setting with strong ELA and encouraging past science performance, while asking how the school is addressing persistent math weakness and whether graduation outcomes have improved.
