Summary:
The Lake Stevens School District operates two high schools serving grades 9-12 in Washington: the large, traditional Lake Stevens Senior High School and the very small LSSD Open Doors alternative program.
Lake Stevens Senior High School is a standout, consistently ranking among the top high schools in the state with an exceptional 94.9% graduation rate, far above the state average. Students perform very strongly in English Language Arts and science, though math scores are closer to the state average. In contrast, LSSD Open Doors is a much smaller program with only 15 students, and detailed performance data is limited, making direct comparison difficult.
The district as a whole is highly rated, and the main high school's success in keeping students engaged and graduating is clear. Parents should note the significant difference in educational model and scale between the two schools. The traditional high school demonstrates sustained excellence, while the alternative program serves a specific, small student population with less publicly reported outcome data.
