Trout Lake School

Public Grades 5-12

Summary

Trout Lake School is a small public school serving 130 students in grades 5–12 in the Trout Lake community, about 17 miles from White Salmon and 11 miles from Glenwood, through the Trout Lake School District. Its combined middle- and high-school grade span makes comparisons with nearby high schools less direct. In 2024–2025, it ranked 198th of 438 Washington schools, placing it at the 55th percentile. That is an improvement from the 43rd percentile the year before, although it remains below the school’s exceptionally strong results from 2017–2023.

The latest academic results show a broad rebound. In 2025–2026, 62.3% of tested students were proficient in English language arts and 65% in science, compared with 52.81% and 50.95% statewide. Science is a particular strength: the school’s 65% proficiency was much higher than the 35.71% reported by nearby Columbia High School. Math improved sharply to 39.66%, but remained below the state’s 43.11% and the district’s 46.74%. Sixth grade deserves attention, with 41.18% proficiency in ELA and 18.75% in math; several other grade-level figures were suppressed because cohorts were small. The school’s small size means a few students can significantly affect yearly results.

For families comparing options, Columbia High School had slightly stronger current ELA and math results, but Trout Lake School was much stronger in science. Its student-teacher ratio was 13.8, more favorable than Columbia’s 20.2 and White Salmon Academy’s 35, and its 2023–2024 spending was $20,272 per student. The school’s current graduation rate is not available in the supplied data; its last school-specific figure, 84.6% in 2014–2015, is too old to represent current performance. Overall, Trout Lake appears capable of strong achievement, with science and ELA as assets and consistent math performance as the main improvement priority.
