Summary:

The Tukwila School District contains one high school, Foster Senior High School, serving grades 9-12 in a community where a significant majority of students face economic disadvantages.

While Foster Senior High School consistently ranks in the lower quartile of Washington high schools, it achieves a notably high graduation rate of 89.4%, well above the state average, and maintains a lower dropout rate. Academic performance is mixed, with English Language Arts being a relative strength compared to district averages, while mathematics and science proficiency rates are areas of significant challenge, particularly in math where proficiency is less than half the state average.

The school operates with substantial per-student funding but a high student-to-teacher ratio. The data presents a complex picture: the school is effective at supporting students to graduation despite below-average standardized test scores, suggesting strong student engagement and support systems. For parents, this indicates a school environment committed to seeing students through to completion, though one facing persistent academic hurdles, especially in mathematics, that are common across the Tukwila School District.
