Our programs comprise K-12 classrooms; online learning; a homeschool program; a high school STEM program that focuses on agriculture, science and the environment; a rigorous academic academy; and a high school for self-directed learners. By focusing on best instructional practices, technology, and facilities, BGPS teaches students to think critically and creatively and prepares them for success after high school. Low teacher-to-student ratios let staff impart practical skills and knowledge to students within the framework of state learning standards and social-emotional learning. Our students achieve state test scores that are consistently above state average. Battle Ground Public Schools supports approx. 12,000 students in 19 schools: seven primary schools, six middle schools, one 3-12 academy, two comprehensive high schools, one alternative high school, one remote learning school and one homeschool support program. The district has more than 1,500 professional staff and serves a population of 72,000 residents and spans 273 square miles in Clark County and the cities of Battle Ground, Brush Prairie, Amboy, Yacolt and Vancouver.

January is School Board Recognition Month, and we want to thank these volunteers for their dedication to BGPS students, staff members, families and the many communities that they represent. For the fifth time in seven years, our board of directors has received the Board of Distinction award from the Washington State School Directors Association. Battle Ground was one of just two Clark County districts to receive recognition in 2024. The recognition demonstrates the board’s commitment to excellence in governance, leadership and community collaboration over the past five school years.
