Summary:

Interlake Senior High School is a public high school located in Bellevue, Washington, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,543 students. The school is part of the Bellevue School District, which is ranked 18th out of 247 districts in Washington and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interlake Senior High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in Washington, ranking 21st out of 437 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, with 85.79% proficient or better in SBAC/English Language Arts and 69.6% proficient or better in SBAC/Math for all grades in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly outperforming the Bellevue School District and the state of Washington. Interlake's diverse student population, with a significant Asian student population (46.27% in 2022-2023) and a relatively balanced representation of other racial groups, is a key differentiating factor compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Bellevue High School and Sammamish Senior High, which tend to have a more homogeneous student population.

Interlake Senior High School's performance is particularly noteworthy for specific student subgroups, ranking 3rd out of 113 Washington high schools for Asian students and 3rd out of 161 high schools for multi-racial students in the 2023-2024 school year. The school also maintains a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.7% to 93.7% over the past five years, consistently outperforming the state average. However, the school's performance for Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students is not as strong as its overall performance, with lower rankings in these subgroups compared to other student groups. The existence of several high-performing magnet and specialized schools in the vicinity, such as International Community School and Nikola Tesla STEM High School, may contribute to the relatively lower performance of Interlake Senior High School for certain student subgroups.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
