Summary:

The Mount Vernon School District in Washington includes 14 public schools serving about 6,700 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, operating in a context of high economic need where most students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Across the district, academic performance generally lags behind state averages, particularly in math, with all six elementary schools like Washington Elementary School and Madison Elementary ranking in the state's bottom 30%. The two middle schools show a notable performance gap: La Venture Middle School significantly outperforms Mount Baker Middle School despite serving similar student populations.

Standouts include Mount Vernon High School, which has an above-average graduation rate and strong English scores, and Skagit Academy, an alternative K-12 school that achieves the district's highest test scores, especially in science, while spending far less per student. Other unique programs are the Northwest Career & Technical Academy/A WA Skills Center for hands-on learning and Mount Vernon Special Educational, which provides intensive support services.
