Best Public Schools in Sedro Woolley, WA

Summary:

The Sedro Woolley School District in Washington state serves a diverse student population across 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. While the district faces some systemic challenges, a few standout schools shine through the data.

Central Elementary School emerges as the top-performing elementary school, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to its peers. Evergreen Elementary also shows relatively strong test scores, especially in 5th and 6th grade ELA and 3rd grade Math. At the high school level, Sedro Woolley Senior High School has the highest graduation rate (87%) and lowest dropout rate (9.8%) in the district, though its test scores still lag behind state averages.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance and equity issues across the district. Schools with higher rates of economic disadvantage, like Mary Purcell Elementary and State Street High School, struggle with much lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher dropout rates. Addressing these systemic challenges through equitable funding and resource allocation will be crucial for the Sedro-Woolley School District to improve outcomes for all students.
