Summary

Tonasket High School is a public high school serving about 280 students in grades 9-12 in the Tonasket School District, a rural community in Washington state.

The school has a significant strength in ensuring students graduate, with an 89% graduation rate that is higher than both the state average and nearby Oroville Middle-High School. It also shows particular success in supporting certain student groups, such as migrant students, where its program ranks among the best in Washington. However, parents should be aware of a major challenge in mathematics, where proficiency is critically low at under 8%, which is far below the state average and the performance at Oroville Middle-High School. Performance in English and Science is closer to or above state averages.

Tonasket High operates with smaller class sizes and spends less per student than the comparison school but achieves better graduation results, suggesting efficient support systems. The school's performance has varied over the years, and it currently faces a pronounced gap in achievement between female and male students. The district also operates Tonasket Choice High School, a much smaller alternative program. For parents, the key takeaway is a school environment that strongly supports student completion but requires urgent and targeted improvement in core math instruction to ensure all graduates have mastered essential academic skills.
