Shoreline School District

The Shoreline School District is a high-performing district in Washington, with 16 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The district is home to several standout schools, including Shorewood High School, Highland Terrace Elementary, and Cascade K-8 Community School, which consistently rank among the top schools in the state.

The district's schools generally outperform state averages in standardized test scores, with the standout schools achieving significantly higher proficiency rates. Shorewood High School also boasts a strong 89.5% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 7.5% dropout rate, both of which are better than the district and state averages. The district's schools also vary in their free/reduced lunch rates, reflecting the diversity of the student population.

While the Shoreline School District as a whole is a high-performing district, there is a significant variation in performance and demographics among the individual schools. The district appears to be effectively supporting its top-performing schools while also working to address the needs of its lower-performing schools and student populations, as evidenced by the higher per-student spending at specialized and alternative schools.
