Summary

Fort Vancouver High School is a large public high school serving 1,507 students in grades 9-12 within the Vancouver School District, and it faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 2% of all Washington state high schools.

The school's academic performance is substantially lower than nearby schools, with only 9.3% of students proficient in math compared to 36.1% at the Vancouver School of Arts and Academics and 20% at Lewis and Clark High School. Its graduation rate of 75.1% is also well below the district average and that of Hudson's Bay High School (87.3%). This underperformance is consistent across all student groups and represents a notable decline in the school's statewide ranking over the past decade.

While Fort Vancouver spends $18,594 per student, its outcomes are poor compared to schools with similar or even lower funding, suggesting how resources are used is critical. The stark contrast with higher-performing schools like Henrietta Lacks Health and Bioscience High School nearby highlights a significant disparity in educational outcomes within the same community, raising important questions about access and equity for families.
