Summary

Granite Falls High School is a public school serving about 614 students in grades 9–12 in the Granite Falls community, within the Granite Falls School District. The school ranks in the middle range statewide—185th of 396 Washington high schools, or the 53rd percentile—and serves a moderately high-need population, with 43% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school’s clearest strength is graduation: 91.6% of students graduated in 2024–2025, compared with 72.9% in the district and 82.6% statewide. Its English language arts performance is also relatively strong, with 60.99% of students proficient in 2025–2026, above both the district’s 41.06% and the state’s 52.81%. Mathematics is the largest concern: only 31.62% were proficient, well below the state’s 43.11%. Science proficiency also fell sharply to 44.55% after exceeding 55% in each of the prior three reported years. Overall, the school appears stronger in literacy and graduation completion than in math and science achievement.

Compared with nearby comprehensive schools, Granite Falls High School trails Arlington High School and Lake Stevens Senior High School in current test results, but its graduation rate is slightly higher than Arlington’s and close to Lake Stevens’ 94.9%. It outperforms Marysville Getchell High School and Marysville Pilchuck High School in all three tested subjects and graduation. It also compares favorably with the district’s alternative Crossroads High School, although that program serves a different student population. The school’s main opportunities are improving mathematics, investigating the recent science decline, sustaining ELA progress, and preserving its strong graduation outcomes.
