Summary

Tekoa High School is a small, rural public school in Tekoa, WA, serving about 115 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Tekoa School District.

The school has shown significant ups and downs in its statewide rankings over the past decade but is currently on a positive trend, improving to a 3-star rating. While per-student spending is substantial and class sizes are favorable, academic proficiency in core subjects like math and English generally lags behind both the state average and nearby schools such as Liberty High School. A notable bright spot is that by 10th grade, students perform close to the state average in English, suggesting they can catch up. The school has demonstrated particular effectiveness in supporting students from lower-income families.

Compared to neighbors like Oakesdale High School, Tekoa's performance has been less stable, though recent improvements in ranking and a decrease in economic need among students are promising signs. Key areas for attention include addressing proficiency gaps that emerge in middle school grades to better prepare students for high school success.
