Summary:

This analysis covers two high schools serving grades 9-12 in the 98901 zip code of Yakima, Washington: East Valley High School and Selah Academy Auxiliary, which are part of the East Valley School District (Yakima) and Selah School District, respectively.

East Valley High School is the primary comprehensive high school in the area, with over 1,000 students, and it stands out for its strong 93.5% graduation rate and exceptional performance in English Language Arts, both well above state averages. In contrast, Selah Academy Auxiliary is a much smaller, specialized program with only 13 students, making direct comparisons difficult due to its different size and purpose.

While East Valley High School excels in graduation rates and English, its math proficiency is notably below the state average, representing a key area for potential improvement. The school has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the past three years. The significant difference in student population size and per-student spending between the two schools highlights that they are designed to serve very different educational needs within the community.
