Summary:
La Conner High School is the only high school in the La Conner School District, serving grades 9–12 in the small community of La Conner, Washington, with 177 students.
La Conner High School has shown encouraging recent improvement. Its statewide ranking rose from the 11th percentile in 2023–24 to the 50th percentile in 2025–26, while its rating increased from one star to three stars. The school’s 81% graduation rate in 2024–25 matched the district rate and was close to Washington’s 82.6% rate. Its reported 6.5% dropout rate was also below the available state figure of 9.8%, although those figures come from different years. Because the school enrolls only 177 students, percentages can change noticeably from year to year depending on the performance of a relatively small number of students.
Academically, English Language Arts is the school’s strongest area: 60% of students were proficient in 2025–26, compared with 44.49% in the district and 52.81% statewide. Math proficiency was 33.33%, nearly equal to the district’s 34.66% but below the state’s 43.11%; science was 37.5%, below both the district’s 41.58% and the state’s 50.95%. All three subjects improved from the prior year, with math making the largest gain, rising from 15.63% to 33.33%. The school serves a community with significant economic need, with 69.49% of students participating in free or reduced-price lunch, and reports a 15.3-to-1 student–teacher ratio. For parents, the main takeaway is a school moving in a positive direction, with particularly strong ELA results, but with math and science still needing focused improvement.
