Summary

Touchet Elementary & High School is a K-12 alternative school serving 251 students in the rural Touchet School District, known for its small class sizes and high per-student funding.

Academically, the school shows a distinct pattern: its younger students, particularly in 3rd grade, often outperform state averages in reading and math, building a strong foundation. However, this success is not sustained, as proficiency rates in middle and high school fall below state averages, with a significant drop in 10th-grade English. The graduation rate has also seen a notable recent decline. Interestingly, the school spends significantly more per student than nearby alternative schools like Homelink in Walla Walla Public Schools.

When compared to local alternatives, Touchet's higher investment does not currently translate to stronger overall outcomes. For example, Walla Walla Online achieves higher proficiency in key areas and a higher graduation rate with lower per-student spending. This contrast suggests parents may want to explore how different school models serve students. The school's challenge appears to be maintaining its early-grade strengths through to graduation, a key area for potential improvement.
