High Schools in Evergreen School District (Clark)

The Evergreen School District (Clark) in Washington is home to 8 high schools, serving students in grades 9-12. The district exhibits a wide range of academic performance and student outcomes across its high schools, with Henrietta Lacks Health and Bioscience High School and Union High School standing out as the top-performing schools in the district.

Henrietta Lacks Health and Bioscience High School is the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 192nd out of 437 high schools in Washington and receiving 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school has exceptional academic performance, with over 70% of 10th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and over 54% of 11th graders proficient or better in Science. In contrast, Legacy High School and Open Doors Evergreen struggle academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages.

Socioeconomic factors, as indicated by free/reduced lunch rates, appear to be a significant driver of academic performance, with the schools serving higher-poverty populations, such as Heritage High School and Evergreen High School, facing more significant challenges. The district's smaller, specialized schools, like Open Doors Evergreen and Cascadia Technical Academy Skills Center, also seem to face unique challenges, with lower academic proficiency, higher dropout rates, and lower spending per student.
