Summary:
Evergreen School District (Clark) in Clark County, Washington, includes eight high-school programs serving about 7,487 students; most serve grades 9–12, while Legacy High School serves grades 6–12 and several programs have specialized or alternative missions. The district offers four large comprehensive high schools—Union High School, Heritage High School, Mountain View High School, and Evergreen High School—alongside smaller health-science, alternative, and technical programs.
Union High School is the strongest overall choice among the large comprehensive schools, with a 96.0% graduation rate, a 2.0% dropout rate, the district’s highest ranking, and leading ELA proficiency at 71.94%. Henrietta Lacks Health and Bioscience High School is another standout, especially in science, where 63.01% of students were proficient—the highest result in the group. Mountain View High School offers a relatively balanced middle position, with a 92.4% graduation rate and stronger ELA and science results than the district, though math remains a challenge.
Heritage High School has shown recent improvement in ELA and math, but its math and science results remain below district averages. Evergreen High School has the greatest need among the large traditional schools, with an 86.8% graduation rate, an 8.7% dropout rate, and low proficiency in all three tested subjects. Legacy High School has the lowest ranking, although its smaller grades 6–12 structure and suppressed results make direct comparisons difficult. Open Doors Evergreen and Cascadia Technical Academy Skills Center should be evaluated separately because they are alternative or specialized programs without comparable outcome data. Across the district, math is the most persistent weakness, while science performance has declined at most schools.
