Summary
Enumclaw Senior High School is a public grades 9–12 school serving 1,333 students in the Enumclaw community, southeast of the Seattle metropolitan area, and is part of the relatively strong Enumclaw School District. The school has a 21.2:1 student-teacher ratio and a moderate socioeconomic profile, with 31.58% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its current statewide ranking is 196th of 396 schools, placing it around the 51st percentile—well below the district’s 77th-percentile standing and below the school’s earlier upper-quartile results.
Academic performance is strongest in English Language Arts: 69.44% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 52.81% statewide. That result is better than at Auburn Riverside High School, Kentlake High School, and Orting High School, though it trails Tahoma Senior High School, Bonney Lake High School, Sumner High School, and White River High School. Math is a major weakness at 30.00%, and science is even more concerning at 33.33%, the lowest reported result among nearby comprehensive schools. Both subjects are below state and district levels.
Graduation remains above Washington’s rate—86.9% versus 82.6%—but is lower than at most nearby schools, including White River, Bonney Lake, Orting, Tahoma, and Sumner. The 6.6% dropout rate is also below the state’s 9.8%, though higher than at most local comparisons. Overall, Enumclaw is not uniformly low-performing: its literacy results are a clear strength, and it generally compares favorably with several lower-performing nearby schools. The most important areas for families to watch are math, science, graduation, dropout outcomes, and support for student groups whose recent statewide effectiveness rankings have been weaker, particularly students receiving special education services.
