The school enrolls 804 students and has a student-teacher ratio of 21.1 to 1.

Sequim Senior High has several encouraging strengths for families. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 91.4%, higher than the district rate of 88.5% and the state rate of 82.6%. The school’s statewide ranking also improved from the 60th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 65th percentile in 2025–2026. In the most recent testing, 58.42% of students were proficient in English language arts, ahead of both the district and state, while 53.8% were proficient in science, above the state average. Science improved by 5.4 percentage points from the prior year. The school serves a diverse economic population, with 46.64% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which provides useful context when considering its graduation and achievement results.

Math is the clearest academic concern. Overall math proficiency was 36.84%, about 10 points below the district and 6 points below the state, although 10th-grade math performance was slightly above both comparison groups. English language arts also requires monitoring: despite remaining above district and state averages, proficiency fell sharply from 70% to 58.42% in one year. Families should also note that the available school dropout figure is from 2021–2022 and cannot be directly compared with the newer state figure. Overall, the school offers strong graduation outcomes, improving rankings, and promising science performance, while math achievement and the recent ELA decline deserve continued attention.
