Summary

Blaine High School is a public school serving grades 9–12 in the Blaine community of northwestern Washington, with 566 students in the Blaine School District. The school is moderately sized and has a 20.5:1 student-teacher ratio. In 2025–2026, it ranked 134th out of 396 Washington high schools, placing it in the 66th percentile. That is still above the statewide midpoint, but it is a notable drop from 54th place and the 88th percentile in 2023–2024.

Academic results are mixed. In 2025–2026, 57.46% of students were proficient in English language arts, 41.79% in math, and 51.96% in science. ELA and science were slightly above state results overall, while math was slightly below. However, the recent trend is concerning: since 2023–2024, ELA proficiency has fallen by 21.53 percentage points and science by 16.29 points. Compared with nearby traditional high schools, Meridian High School, Lynden High School, and Ferndale High School, Blaine has the largest gap in ELA. Its math performance is competitive, ranking between the other three schools, and its science result is close to Ferndale’s.

Completion outcomes are a clear strength. Blaine’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 87.0%, above Washington’s 82.6% and higher than Meridian’s 85.3% and Lynden’s 79.5%, though below Ferndale’s 89.2%. Its 5.4% dropout rate was also better than the state rate of 9.8% and slightly lower than Ferndale’s. Spending was $20,152 per student in 2023–2024, higher than Meridian and Lynden and close to Ferndale. Overall, the school offers relatively strong persistence and graduation outcomes, but families and district leaders may want to focus especially on reversing the sharp ELA decline and understanding why performance has weakened across several student groups.
