Best Public Schools in Stanwood, WA

Summary:

The Stanwood-Camano School District serves the Stanwood, Washington area with nine public schools, including three elementary, three middle, two high schools, and one K-12 alternative school, educating over 4,100 students.

Overall, the district performs near state averages academically but has notable strengths in graduation rates and significant variations between schools. Stanwood High School stands out with a strong graduation rate, while Port Susan Middle School is a top performer, especially in science. In contrast, Stanwood Middle School faces considerable academic challenges, and both Lincoln Hill High School and the very small Lincoln Academy struggle with low graduation rates and test scores.

Elementary schools, like Cedarhome Elementary School, provide a consistent foundation, but math performance is a district-wide concern. Interestingly, the alternative Saratoga School achieves good results in some subjects despite a high student-teacher ratio, suggesting its model is effective. For parents, this means school choice within the district matters greatly, as performance and resources vary significantly from one campus to another.
