Summary:

The Anacortes School District serves roughly 2,559 students across seven schools: three elementary schools (K-5), one middle school (6-8), and three high schools (9-12), in the coastal community of Anacortes. The district ranks 41st of 238 Washington districts — the 83rd percentile — with 4 stars, and it outperforms the state in every core subject: ELA 62.36% vs 52.81%, math 56.76% vs 43.11%, and science 64.06% vs 50.95%. Its graduation rate is 94.6% against the state's 82.6%, and its dropout rate is 2.9% against 9.8%.

Anacortes High School is the district's flagship: 16th of 396 high schools, 96th percentile, 5 stars, with a 97.9% graduation rate and proficiency of 84.66% in ELA, 67.55% in math, and 78.81% in science — far above both district and state. The elementaries are strong too. Mount Erie Elementary is the equity standout: it has the district's highest free/reduced-lunch rate (46.79%) yet beats district and state in all three subjects and climbed from the 70th to the 84th percentile. Island View Elementary (83rd percentile) leads elementaries in ELA and science, while Fidalgo Elementary (75th) is above state but just below district in ELA.

Anacortes Middle School is the clearest academic concern — below district averages in ELA, math, and science, slightly below the state in science, and down from the 79th to the 71st percentile. Cap Sante High School, with just 50 students, sits at the 12th percentile with a 65.0% graduation rate, a 28.0% dropout rate in 2023-24, and science proficiency of 25%; its math scores were suppressed by the state, meaning they are unknown, not zero. Open Doors enrolls 7 students and has no test or ranking data, so it cannot be evaluated. Small enrollments make year-to-year figures volatile at both.
