Summary:
In the rural zip code 98650 of Trout Lake, Washington, the Trout Lake School District operates two public schools on a shared campus, serving a total of 209 students from kindergarten through 12th grade.
The standout school in the area is Trout Lake Elementary, which consistently earns high state rankings, with students in grades K-4 performing well above Washington state averages in both math and English. In contrast, Trout Lake School, which serves grades 5-12, shows a more mixed academic profile; while its 10th graders excel in English, math and science proficiency for all grades are below state averages, indicating a significant academic slide as students move from elementary to secondary levels.
Both schools benefit from high per-student spending and small class sizes, which is typical for a small rural district. Parents should note that the high school's state ranking has varied considerably in recent years, which can happen in very small schools where a few students' performance greatly impacts the percentages. The district's focus appears to be a strength at the elementary level, while the secondary school faces clear challenges in core subjects that may require additional support for students.
