Best High Schools in Sequim, WA

Sequim, Washington is home to exactly one public high school: Sequim Senior High, which serves grades 9–12 with 804 students at 601 N. Sequim Ave., Sequim, WA 98382. It belongs to Sequim School District. Because there is only one high school in the city, there is no in-city comparison to make — this school is the entire high-school picture for Sequim, and the most useful benchmarks come from the district and state averages.

Academically, the strongest result is graduation: 91.4% in 2024–25, above the district's 88.5% and the state's 82.6%. Test results are more mixed, and same-grade comparisons tell the clearest story. In 2025–26, 10th-grade ELA proficiency was 58.42%, below the district's 60% and the state's 64.41%. Tenth-grade Math came in at 36.84%, slightly above the district's 34.93% and the state's 35.42% but still low in absolute terms. Eleventh-grade Science was 53.8%, above the district's 52.75% and the state's 48.78%. Watch out for district and state "All Grades" figures — those include lower grades, so they are not directly comparable to a 9–12 school. Year over year, ELA fell from 70% to 58.42% while Science rose from 48.4% to 53.8%; the data cannot explain why.

The school's rank has improved steadily: from 173 of 437 (60th percentile) in 2023–24 to 162 of 438 (63rd) in 2024–25 to 140 of 396 (65th) in 2025–26, holding a 3-star rating. The district ranks higher at 71st percentile with 4 stars, but district and school rankings use different pools and aren't directly equivalent. Context: 46.64% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, the student-teacher ratio is 21.1, and per-student spending is $18,368. No 2024–25 school dropout rate is provided (state: 9.8%); the 2021–22 school figure of 25.6% is older data and should not be read as current.
