Summary:
ZIP code 98604 has four high schools serving students in the Battle Ground area: Battle Ground High School, Prairie High School, Summit View High School, and Open Doors Battle Ground. Together, they enroll 3,627 students and are part of the Battle Ground School District, which ranks 89th among 238 Washington districts. Enrollment is concentrated at the two large comprehensive schools, Battle Ground and Prairie, while Summit View and Open Doors are smaller programs.
Battle Ground High School is the strongest overall based on the available measures. It has the highest ranking, graduation rate, and subject proficiency, along with the lowest dropout rate and most favorable student-teacher ratio among the schools with comparable data. Its graduation rate is 87.9%, and its English language arts proficiency is 66.67%. Prairie High School is also a solid option, with an 87.5% graduation rate, an 8.4% dropout rate, and improvement in its ranking and all three tested subjects. Both schools perform better in English language arts than in math or science, making mathematics the clearest academic area for improvement.
Summit View High School has improved its ranking and English language arts results, but remains the main area of concern. Its graduation rate is 45.6%, its dropout rate is 18.4%, and only 4.84% of students were proficient in math in the latest results. Families should also note that Open Doors Battle Ground has only 47 students and no reported graduation, dropout, ranking, or test-score data in the supplied information. Its results are therefore unknown rather than negative, and its specialized program structure may make direct comparisons inappropriate.
