Summary:
The Clover Park School District has six high-school-level schools and programs serving grades 5–12, including two comprehensive 9–12 high schools, a college-preparatory school, and several specialized programs with very different student needs and outcomes. Together, they enroll 3,367 students in the Clover Park area.
General William H. Harrison Preparatory School is the strongest academic performer. It ranks in the 87th percentile statewide, has a four-star rating, and leads the group in math and science while also exceeding the district in English Language Arts. Its results have improved across all three subjects. Among the traditional 9–12 schools, Lakes High School offers the strongest combination of outcomes, with the highest graduation rate at 96.5% and the best English Language Arts performance. Its main weakness is math. Clover Park High School also reports a high graduation rate of 95.2% and a low dropout rate, but its test results—especially math—are considerably weaker than those at Lakes and Harrison.
The remaining programs serve more specialized populations and should not be judged exactly like comprehensive high schools. The CPSD Open Doors Program has a 41.9% graduation rate, a 25.2% dropout rate, and some suppressed assessment results, reflecting the need for alternative measures such as credit recovery and re-engagement. Alfaretta House and Transition Day Students are very small programs without enough reported outcomes for meaningful comparison. Overall, math achievement is the clearest districtwide challenge, while Harrison stands out as a model of stronger academic performance.
