Kittitas High School offers an encouraging 86.0% graduation rate, higher than the statewide 82.6%, and its science proficiency slightly exceeds the state average. However, academics are more uneven than at the elementary school. Overall math proficiency was 25.16%, nearly 18 points below the state, with especially low results in eighth and tenth grade. English language arts varied significantly by grade: sixth and tenth grade were above state results, while eighth grade was notably lower.
