Summary

Cap Sante High School is a very small public high school serving about 50 students in grades 9-12 within the well-regarded Anacortes School District in Anacortes, Washington.

This school has a unique mission, likely serving as an alternative or re-engagement program, and its performance has been highly volatile from year to year, with recent state rankings dropping significantly. While its graduation rate has improved to 65%, this is much lower than the district average of 94.6%, and proficiency rates in subjects like English and Science are also well below district benchmarks. Interestingly, the school shares an address with Anacortes High School, a top-ranked comprehensive high school, highlighting a stark performance gap within the same district.

Compared to other nearby schools, Cap Sante is distinct in its small size and the challenges it faces. Its per-student spending is lower than that of Anacortes High School and some similar programs like iGrad Academy. Despite overall struggles, the school has shown notable effectiveness with certain student groups, such as those from low-income families, where it has historically achieved much higher rankings. This pattern suggests the school's approach may be better suited for specific student needs than others.
