Summary

Henry M. Jackson High School is a large, highly-regarded public high school serving about 2,150 students in grades 9-12 within the Everett School District in Mill Creek, consistently ranking among the top 10% of all Washington high schools.

The school demonstrates exceptional and consistent academic performance, with a 98.2% graduation rate that leads the area and state test scores that far exceed both district and state averages. It stands out for its effective support for diverse student groups, with historically underserved populations like African American students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing in the 90th percentile or higher statewide. While the school excels in nearly every area, data indicates there is a focused opportunity to improve outcomes for students in Special Education programs.

Jackson High achieves these top-tier results while spending less per student than several nearby, lower-performing schools like Mariner High School and Cascade High School. It forms a notable "excellence corridor" with the similarly high-achieving North Creek High School in the neighboring Northshore School District, though Jackson maintains a slight edge in graduation rates and support for economically disadvantaged students.
