Summary:

The Stanwood-Camano School District consists of 11 schools serving about 4,480 students from elementary through high school in a Washington community where overall academic performance meets state averages.

Performance varies significantly between schools, with clear standouts and some needing attention. Port Susan Middle School is the district's top performer, while Stanwood Middle School ranks much lower despite similar resources and student demographics, suggesting factors like teaching methods or school culture are at play. At the high school level, Stanwood High School has a strong graduation rate but shows a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over recent years.

Key district strengths include graduation rates above the state average and solid performance in English and Science. The main challenge is math, where proficiency lags behind both other subjects and the state average. The alternative Saratoga School achieves good results with lower funding, while smaller programs like Lincoln Academy have much higher per-student costs. For parents, this means while the district is solid overall, individual school choice is important, as outcomes differ even between schools serving similar grades and communities.
