Mariner High School

Summary:

Mariner High School is a public high school in Everett, Washington, serving 2,090 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Mukilteo School District, which is ranked 117 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Mariner High School stands out for its diverse student population, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic (43.01%), African American (9.86%), and Pacific Islander (2.54%) students compared to the state average and nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, only 25.59% of Mariner High School students were proficient or better in SBAC/Math, compared to 39.67% for the Mukilteo School District and 41.68% for the state. The school's four-year graduation rate has also fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 82.7% to 87.1%, and its dropout rate has been higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Kamiak High School, Mariner High School generally underperforms in academic achievement, graduation rates, and other key metrics. This may be due in part to the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.08% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these challenges and finding ways to better support the school's diverse student population will be crucial for Mariner High School to improve its overall performance and provide a high-quality education for all its students.

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.

I am a graduate of Mariner High School now living in Canada.. I have to say that without the education that I received out of the Faculty members of this school, I wouldn't have gone off to University, yet alone be in a successful situation that I'm in as of today. I would love to say "Thank You" to all of the Faculty and Staff members and hope they keep up the great work for our future leaders. Close Quote

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.
