Snohomish School District

The Snohomish School District in Washington state encompasses 16 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The district demonstrates a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with some standout institutions leading the way in academic excellence.

Glacier Peak High School ranks among the top 59 high schools in Washington and maintains a consistent 4-star rating, boasting a high 95.8% four-year graduation rate and strong academic performance, with students outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. Similarly, Little Cedars Elementary School and Totem Falls Elementary School rank among the top 119 and 204 schools in the state, respectively, and demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, with students significantly outperforming the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

In contrast, the district's alternative schools, AIM High School and Parent Partnership, face challenges, with lower graduation rates and academic performance compared to the traditional public schools. Additionally, there appear to be disparities in academic achievement between the top-performing schools and some of the lower-performing ones, particularly in the elementary and middle school levels, which may be related to factors such as socioeconomic status and resource allocation.
