WESTSIDE HIGH SCHOOL

Westside High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Wenatchee School District school district, located in WENATCHEE, WA with about 251 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 15 teachers, Westside High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Westside High School, located in Wenatchee, Washington, serves as the district’s alternative learning institution, specifically designed to meet the needs of students who benefit from a non-traditional educational environment. The school prioritizes a flexible, student-centered approach, offering personalized pathways that allow individuals to complete their high school graduation requirements at a pace that fits their personal circumstances. By focusing on smaller class sizes and fostering strong relationships between staff and students, Westside creates a supportive community where academic recovery and individual growth are the primary objectives.

Beyond its core academic mission, the school emphasizes a culture of resilience and personal development, providing students with the resources necessary to transition successfully into post-secondary life. Whether students are aiming to recover credits, balance work-life responsibilities, or seek a more intimate learning setting than a large comprehensive high school, Westside High offers a tailored experience. The school remains deeply integrated into the Wenatchee School District, ensuring that its students have access to the guidance and opportunities required to graduate and prepare for their future careers or continued education.
