Summary

Sedro Woolley Senior High School is a public high school serving about 1,280 students in grades 9-12 within the Sedro-Woolley School District, a district that ranks in the middle range statewide.

The school presents a mixed picture: it excels at graduating students, with a 94% graduation rate that far exceeds state and district averages, but struggles significantly in core academic areas, particularly mathematics where only about 19% of students are proficient. Its performance in English and Science is closer to the state average. This creates a notable paradox where students are successfully staying in school and earning diplomas but may not be mastering all subjects at grade level. Compared to nearby schools, its math scores are similar to La Conner High School but lower than Burlington Edison High School, while its graduation rate is higher than both.

Key areas of concern include a dramatic recent decline in services for special education students and a general downward trend in the school's overall state ranking over the past decade, despite an increase in per-student spending. The school significantly outperforms the alternative State Street High School in its own district. For improvement, the school urgently needs to address its math instruction and evaluate its special education programs.
