Summary:

Shoreline School District serves approximately 9,398 students across 16 Washington schools, including elementary, K–8, middle, high, and alternative programs. The district offers education from the elementary grades through high school, with two middle schools and two comprehensive high schools. Overall, it ranks 16th among 238 Washington districts, placing it around the 93rd percentile. Families will find strong options across the district, although academic results vary considerably from school to school and some figures are suppressed rather than reported.

The two high schools are among the district’s strongest schools. Shorewood High School ranks slightly higher than Shorecrest High School and reports a 92.7% graduation rate, compared with Shorecrest’s 92.1%. Shorewood also leads in current ELA, math, and science results and has a lower dropout rate. Both schools rank in the top 8% statewide, and mathematics improved at both schools, especially at Shorecrest. Among elementary options, Meridian Park Elementary School is a standout, with 84.46% ELA, 79.59% math, and 78.7% science proficiency. Cascade K-8 Community School, Melvin G Syre Elementary, and Highland Terrace Elementary also post especially strong results.

The middle schools perform well statewide but trail the district average in several subjects. Albert Einstein Middle School is particularly strong in science, while Kellogg Middle School has somewhat higher math results. Families comparing elementary schools should note the wide range in outcomes: Echo Lake Elementary School has the lowest reported results, especially in science, while Ridgecrest Elementary and Briarcrest Elementary show more mixed performance by grade and subject. Home Education Exchange offers a nontraditional option, but its small enrollment can make rankings more volatile. Overall, the district’s strongest choices are concentrated among the high schools and several elementary schools, while middle-grade math and uneven elementary results are the clearest areas to examine closely.
