Summary:
Zip code 98561 in Raymond, Washington, contains one public high school, Willapa Valley Middle-High School, a small grades 6-12 school serving 204 students in the Willapa Valley School District.
This school shows a clear strength in English Language Arts, where students consistently perform better than both the district and state averages, especially in middle school grades. However, it faces significant challenges in Math and Science, with proficiency rates in these subjects generally falling below state and district benchmarks, particularly for high school students. Parents should note the school's recent and dramatic drop in statewide ranking, falling from the 54th percentile (3 stars) in 2022-2023 to the 28th percentile (1 star) in the current 2024-2025 school year, which indicates a need for attention to overall performance trends.
Despite these academic challenges, the school maintains a very low student-teacher ratio of 15.9 to 1, offering a close-knit learning environment, and it has historically posted strong graduation rates. The recent ranking decline suggests families should inquire about ongoing improvement plans, especially for supporting math and science achievement, while also recognizing the school's successful track record in literacy and graduation outcomes.
