Summary

Henrietta Lacks Health and Bioscience High School is a small public high school in Vancouver, WA, serving 467 students in grades 9–12 with a specialized health-and-bioscience focus. The school is ranked 148th out of 396 Washington high schools, placing it in approximately the 63rd percentile. Its results are notably stronger than those of many nearby comprehensive schools, including Evergreen High School, which is about 2.7 miles away. The school provides a more focused setting than a large high school, while still serving all four high school grades.

Academically, science is the school’s clearest strength: 63.01% of students were proficient in science in 2025–26, compared with 40.43% in the Evergreen School District (Clark) and 50.95% statewide. English Language Arts was also strong at 57.66%, above the district’s 40.55% and the state’s 52.81%. In comparison, Evergreen High School recorded 34.98% in ELA and 32.50% in science. Mathematics is the main concern: Henrietta Lacks’ 28.18% proficiency rate was below both the district’s 33.45% and the state’s 43.11%. ELA also declined from 76.15% in 2024–25, so the next year of results will be important.

The school appears particularly effective for low-income students and English Language Learners, ranking in the 72nd and 68th percentiles statewide for those groups. District-level completion data are favorable: the graduation rate was 91.7% in 2024–25, compared with 82.6% statewide, although a current school-specific graduation rate is not available. With a student-teacher ratio of 18.2, Henrietta Lacks is somewhat smaller-staffed than large nearby schools such as Evergreen High School and Fort Vancouver High School. Overall, it is a strong local option for families interested in health, bioscience, ELA, and science, with mathematics the clearest area needing improvement.
