Summary

Henrietta Lacks Health and Bioscience High School is a specialized public high school serving about 470 students in grades 9-12 within the Evergreen School District (Clark) in Vancouver, WA, and it stands out as a consistently above-average performer in a district that overall ranks in the bottom third statewide.

The school excels in several key areas, most notably in English Language Arts, where over 76% of students are proficient—dramatically higher than both the district and state averages and far surpassing nearby schools like Evergreen High School (41%) and Fort Vancouver High School. It also shows great strength in supporting diverse student populations and maintains high graduation rates, offering a stable and effective learning environment compared to other local schools whose rankings can fluctuate significantly from year to year.

While the school's math scores are an area for improvement, this is a common challenge across the region. Importantly, Henrietta Lacks achieves its strong overall results with moderate per-student spending, demonstrating efficient use of resources compared to some neighboring schools that spend much more for lower outcomes, such as Lewis and Clark High School. Its focused health and bioscience program appears to be a key factor in its success, creating a model of how a specialized curriculum can drive student achievement.
