Summary:
This analysis covers four public high schools in the Wenatchee, Washington area (zip code 98801), serving grades 9-12 within the Wenatchee School District.
The main comprehensive school is Wenatchee High School, which enrolls over 2,000 students and stands out for its strong 92.8% graduation rate, well above the state average. In contrast, Westside High School, a smaller school, has a much lower graduation rate of 64.8% and a higher dropout rate, despite having more spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio. Both traditional high schools face a significant challenge in mathematics, with proficiency rates below 20%, which is an area of concern for the district.
The other two schools serve specialized roles: Open Doors Re-Engagement works with students who have struggled in traditional settings, and the Wenatchee Valley Technical Skills Center provides career training. Overall, while Wenatchee High School excels in graduating students, the district's high schools show a need for focused improvement in academic proficiency, particularly in math.
