Summary:
The Evergreen School District (Clark) in Washington serves high school students through eight diverse schools, including six traditional high schools, a specialized health sciences academy, and alternative programs, with enrollments ranging from under 50 to nearly 2,000 students.
Academic performance varies widely across the district. Henrietta Lacks Health and Bioscience High School stands out as the top performer, particularly in English proficiency, while Union High School leads in graduation rates. In contrast, Legacy High School faces significant academic challenges. A major district-wide concern is math proficiency, where all schools score below the state average, with Evergreen High School and Heritage High School showing particularly low scores.
Specialized programs like Henrietta Lacks and Cascadia Technical Academy Skills Center demonstrate strong outcomes, suggesting focused models can be effective. The district's overall graduation rate is a strength, exceeding the state average. For parents, this landscape highlights the importance of matching a school's specific model—whether comprehensive, career-focused, or alternative—to their student's needs, as performance and resources differ significantly from one campus to another.
