of 396 Washington High Schools

Better than 18% of Washington high schools

Summary

Todd Beamer High School is a large public school serving grades 9–12 in Federal Way, Washington, with 1,412 students. Located in the Federal Way area, it serves a relatively high-need student population: 72.8% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. The school is part of the Federal Way School District, which ranks in the 23rd percentile statewide. Todd Beamer’s latest ranking is 324th out of 396 Washington high schools, or the 18th percentile. Although that remains in the lower statewide range, the school has improved from 409th out of 455 schools in 2020–2021 and now ranks slightly ahead of nearby Decatur High School and Federal Way High School.

Graduation is one of Todd Beamer’s stronger areas. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 86.6%, above the district’s 84.9% and Washington’s 82.6%, though below Decatur’s 90.4%, Federal Way’s 87.9%, and Auburn Riverside High School’s 92.0%. The 9.1% dropout rate was below the state’s 9.8% but higher than those three comparison schools. Academically, English Language Arts is a relative strength: 46.3% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, nearly matching Decatur and exceeding Federal Way, though remaining below the state’s 52.81%. Science proficiency was 30.05%, stronger than Decatur and Federal Way but below Auburn Riverside and Fife High School.

Math is the school’s clearest challenge. Only 18.08% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 27.11% districtwide and 43.11% statewide. This was an improvement from 12.5% the prior year, but math results have remained below 20% across the available four-year period. Recent progress is therefore encouraging but uneven: graduation and ELA improved, while science declined from 36.21% to 30.05%. Todd Beamer also shows comparatively strong statewide subgroup effectiveness for English learners and special education students, although several other subgroup results remain below the statewide midpoint. Overall, the school appears to support completion better than standardized achievement, with sustained math improvement, dropout prevention, and more consistent outcomes across student groups as the most important priorities.

What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, September 17, 2011

According to the University of Washington this is one of the least successful high schools in the State and yet the parents don't seem to care!

They continue to believe that since it is the newest it is the best in the area.

SAT results suggest that they are delusional. Close Quote
