Summary:
The Clover Park School District in Washington serves high school students through six diverse programs, including two large comprehensive high schools, a preparatory school, and alternative/transitional programs, within a district that ranks in the bottom third statewide.
Among these schools, General William H. Harrison Preparatory School stands out as the top performer, ranking in the 79th percentile statewide with notably stronger math and science scores. In contrast, the larger Clover Park High School and Lakes High School show a significant gap between their very high graduation rates (over 95%) and low proficiency in core subjects, especially math, where scores are less than half the state average. Lakes High School does excel in English Language Arts, surpassing the state average.
The district's alternative programs, like the CPSD Open Doors Program, serve high-need populations but face challenges with low graduation and high dropout rates. Overall, while the Clover Park School District successfully graduates most students, there is a clear need to improve academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics, across its comprehensive high schools to ensure diplomas represent strong readiness for future education and careers.
