Summary

Westside High School is a small public high school serving 279 students in grades 9-12 within the Wenatchee School District, and it faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics and graduation rates.

The school's performance is notably lower than other area high schools, with a math proficiency rate of just 12%, which is dramatically below nearby schools like Cashmere High School (57%) and Wenatchee High School (20%). Furthermore, its graduation rate of 65% and a dropout rate of 19% are the most concerning in the region, indicating many students struggle to complete their education. Interestingly, the school spends more per student than several comparison schools and has smaller class sizes, but these advantages have not translated into stronger overall outcomes.

Despite these serious challenges, Westside shows a relative strength in English Language Arts, where its proficiency exceeds both district and state averages. The school appears to serve a high-need population and functions similarly to an alternative school, providing a critical safety net within the district. Recent data shows slight improvement from historically very low rankings, suggesting new support systems may be starting to have a positive effect, though significant work remains to be done to help all students succeed.
