Summary:

Bothell, Washington, has six high schools serving grades 9–12, with about 5,325 students across large comprehensive schools, a specialized choice school, alternative programs, and an online reengagement program. The schools vary greatly in size, from 12 students at Northshore Online Reengagement Program to 1,910 at North Creek High School. Five schools belong to the highly ranked Northshore School District, while Lynnwood High School belongs to the Edmonds School District.

For families seeking a traditional comprehensive high school, North Creek High School is the strongest overall choice in the available data. It ranked 19th statewide, had a 97.2% graduation rate, a 0.9% dropout rate, and proficiency above state levels in English language arts, math, and science. Bothell High School also posted excellent graduation and English language arts results, with a 96.2% graduation rate, but science was a major weakness at 39.4%, well below both the state and district results. Lynnwood High School showed encouraging improvement, particularly in math, which rose more than 10 percentage points in one year. However, its graduation rate was 87.3% and dropout rate was 6.1%, indicating more mixed outcomes than at North Creek or Bothell.

Innovation Lab High School had the highest recent ranking, placing 10th statewide in 2024–2025, along with very strong historical assessment results. Its small size and suppressed current scores make direct comparisons with comprehensive schools less reliable. Secondary Academy for Success serves a much smaller student population and reported more concerning outcomes, including a 65.9% graduation rate, 19.1% dropout rate, and 33.33% English language arts proficiency. Current results for Northshore Online Reengagement Program are largely unavailable, so it cannot be fairly ranked. Overall, school size, program mission, and available data differ substantially; the strongest broad-based results come from North Creek, while the smaller programs require more specialized evaluation.
