Secondary Academy for Success has a more diverse student population compared to nearby high schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (19.44%) and students of two or more races (15.74%). However, the school has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, ranging from a high of 4 stars to a low of 1 star in recent years.

Academically, the school generally performs below the Northshore School District and state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics.

The school's higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (41.67%) compared to nearby high schools, such as Inglemoor High School, Woodinville High School, and North Creek High School, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. To improve student outcomes, the school may need to focus on targeted interventions, resource allocation, and learning from the best practices of its higher-performing counterparts within the Northshore School District.

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.
