Inchelium High School

Summary:

Inchelium High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the rural town of Inchelium, Washington. With just 63 students, the school has a significantly higher percentage of Native American students (79.37%) compared to the state average of around 2%. However, the school's academic performance and graduation rates lag behind state averages, presenting significant challenges for this predominantly low-income student population.

Inchelium High School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is well below the state average. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 41.18% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 65.89%. Similarly, just 25% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 50.53%. The school's graduation rate of 47.0% in 2021-2022 was also significantly lower than the state average.

Inchelium High School's performance has been quite volatile over the past several years, with fluctuating graduation rates and high dropout rates reaching as high as 41.1% in 2021-2022. These challenges may be influenced by the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 82.54% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While data on nearby schools is not available for comparison, addressing the unique needs and barriers faced by Inchelium High School's predominantly Native American and low-income student population will be crucial to improving the school's educational outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
