Summary:

The city of Vashon, Washington, served by the highly-ranked Vashon Island School District, has two public high schools serving grades 9-12: the traditional Vashon Island High School and the smaller alternative program, Student Link.

Vashon Island High School is a consistent standout, ranked in the top 4% of state high schools with a perfect 5-star rating, a 95% graduation rate, and exceptional academic proficiency, especially in English and Science. In contrast, Student Link serves a different student population with greater economic need and has a lower graduation rate, though it has shown recent improvement in its statewide ranking.

Key differences include higher per-student spending at Student Link, and a significant gap in science proficiency between the two schools. The strong overall performance of the Vashon Island School District is largely driven by the excellence of the traditional high school, while the alternative program faces distinct challenges common to its model.
