Summary:
The area has one high school, Intergenerational High School, serving grades 9–12 in Bellingham, Washington. The school has 107 students, a student–teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1, and is also listed as the Intergenerational High School district. Because there is only one school, families cannot compare local schools directly; the most useful comparisons are with Washington state results and the school’s performance over time. Its small size may support a more personal setting, but it also means that a relatively small number of students can significantly change reported percentages.
The school’s strongest recent academic area is English Language Arts. In 2025–2026, 62.5% of students were proficient, compared with 52.81% statewide. ELA performance also improved sharply from 33.33% the prior year, although additional years are needed to determine whether this gain will continue. Math is a significant weakness: 20.83% of students were proficient, compared with 43.11% statewide. The 2025–2026 science result was suppressed, meaning it is unknown and should not be treated as a zero or failing score. A 100% science result reported for the prior year should also be interpreted cautiously because the tested group may have been small.
Graduation and dropout outcomes are the most important concerns for parents to investigate. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 34.3%, far below Washington’s 82.6%, while the dropout rate was 28.1%, compared with 9.8% statewide. Families may want to ask about attendance, credit recovery, student transfers, counseling, and pathways for students who need additional time to graduate. The school reported $34,079 in per-student spending, but no comparable figures were provided, so its spending cannot be judged against similar schools. Overall, the school combines promising ELA results and a small-school environment with serious math, persistence, and graduation challenges.
