Summary

Touchet Elementary & High School is a rural K–12 alternative school serving 251 students in Touchet, Washington, through the Touchet School District. About 59.76% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, indicating a relatively high level of economic need. The reported student-teacher ratio was 13.9, a more conventional staffing level than at nearby alternative schools, although staffing ratios can vary substantially by school model.

Recent academic results show encouraging progress, but also some clear areas for improvement. In 2025–26, 50.93% of students were proficient in English language arts, 37.04% in math, and 47.37% in science. Each subject improved from the previous year, with the largest gain in science. ELA performance was close to the state rate, while math remained the clearest challenge. Math proficiency was below the state in every grade with a reported result, especially in fourth and sixth grades. Eighth-grade science was a relative bright spot, with 50% proficiency—slightly above the state rate. Some grade-level results were suppressed, meaning the figures are unavailable rather than zero.

The most important concern is graduation: the school reported a 67.0% rate in 2024–25, well below Washington’s 82.6% and below Touchet’s earlier rates near 88%. This decline deserves attention alongside credit completion, attendance, student mobility, and support for students nearing graduation. Compared with Homelink and Walla Walla Online, Touchet had stronger ELA results than Homelink and substantially stronger math results than Walla Walla Online, while Walla Walla Online led in science. Touchet also reported much higher spending per student, at $21,725, though rural-school costs and different instructional models make that comparison difficult to interpret.
