Summary:
Zip code 98635, serving the Lyle, WA area, contains one public high school, Lyle High School, which serves grades 9-12 in a very small, rural setting with an enrollment of just 48 students.
Lyle High School shows promising signs of improvement, having significantly increased its statewide ranking over the last few years. It operates with considerable resources, spending over $29,000 per student and maintaining a very low student-teacher ratio that allows for more individual attention. Academically, the school's English Language Arts proficiency meets the state average and notably outperforms its own Lyle School District, which is ranked in the lower third of Washington districts.
Despite these strengths and resources, the school faces significant challenges. Science proficiency is below the state average, and a historically high dropout rate indicates past struggles with keeping students engaged through graduation, though the most recent graduation rate shows positive improvement. For parents, this school represents a small, closely-supported environment that is improving and outperforming its district, but one where understanding the focus on student support and retention will be key.
