Summary:
Sultan School District has three high schools serving grades 9–12 in the Sultan area: the comprehensive Sultan Senior High School, the small alternative Sky Valley Options program, and Open Doors Youth Reengagement. Together they enroll 626 students, but most—581 students, or about 93%—attend Sultan Senior High. Because the two smaller programs serve different purposes and have very small enrollments, their results should not be compared directly with the comprehensive high school.
Sultan Senior High School is the strongest option for families seeking a traditional full-size high school experience. It had a 90.8% graduation rate in 2024–25, above both the district’s 89.4% and the state’s 82.6%, while its 5.6% dropout rate was below district and state levels. Its clearest academic strength is English Language Arts, with 68.14% proficiency in 2025–26 compared with 52.81% statewide. Math is the main concern: proficiency was 29.2%, below the district’s 38.18% and the state’s 43.11%, although it improved substantially from the previous year. Science was comparatively stable and close to state performance. The school also moved into the 63rd percentile in the latest ranking year.
Sky Valley Options reported an 83.0% graduation rate, slightly above the state average but below the district rate. Its current assessment results are suppressed because of its small enrollment, so missing scores should not be viewed as poor performance. Open Doors Youth Reengagement serves only 11 students and has no current school-level graduation or dropout results; its historical figures indicate that students may face significant challenges, but they are not a current performance assessment. Overall, the district combines strong completion results with uneven academic achievement, particularly a sizable gap between ELA and math at Sultan Senior High.
