Interagency Programs

Summary:

Interagency Programs is a public high school in Seattle, Washington that serves grades 6-12, with a relatively small student population of 194 students. The school is part of the Seattle School District No. 1, which is ranked 48 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite its small size, Interagency Programs faces significant challenges compared to nearby high schools. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of high schools in Washington state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 34.62% of Interagency students proficient in English Language Arts compared to 78.86% for the district and 66.2% statewide. Interagency Programs also has an extremely high dropout rate, ranging from 21.8% to 33.7% in recent years, and a low 4-year graduation rate of only 39.5%, less than half the rate of nearby schools like West Seattle High School (91.9%) and Franklin High School (86.4%).

While Interagency Programs serves a more racially diverse student population, with 73.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's higher spending per student ($42,624 in 2021-2022) compared to the surrounding high schools ($17,312 to $21,648 per student) does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The nearby schools, such as Cleveland High School STEM and Garfield High School, offer more specialized programs and pathways that may be attracting higher-performing students. Interagency Programs' low student-teacher ratio of 5.5 suggests additional resources dedicated to supporting its students, but the academic results do not reflect this.

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.
