Summary

Sequoia High School is a small public high school serving about 145 students in grades 9-12 within the well-regarded Everett School District in Everett, Washington.

This school operates very differently from traditional high schools like Cascade High School or Everett High School. It has an exceptionally small class size, with a student-teacher ratio of about 8-to-1, and receives significantly more funding per student to provide intensive support. This suggests Sequoia is designed to serve students who may need a more personalized, alternative path to graduation. While its standardized test scores are below district and state averages, its most recent graduation rate of 90% is strong, especially when compared to other alternative programs such as Everett Reengagement Academy or ACES High School.

For parents, the key takeaway is that Sequoia appears to be a specialized school focused on helping students who face significant academic challenges complete their high school education. Its high level of resources and personal attention seem aligned with this mission, as reflected in its recent graduation success, even though this isn't fully captured by traditional test score rankings. It represents a substantial investment by the Everett School District in supporting vulnerable students.
