Better than 96% of Washington high schools

Summary

Issaquah High School is a large public school serving grades 9–12 in the Seattle-area Eastside community of Issaquah, Washington, with 2,419 students and a strong record in the highly rated Issaquah School District.

Issaquah is consistently one of Washington’s top high schools, ranking 17th out of 396 schools for 2025–26, in the 96th percentile, with a five-star rating. It has remained near the top statewide for years, although its recent ranking is somewhat below its 9th-place position in 2022–23. English Language Arts is a clear strength: 84.92% of students were proficient in 2025–26, compared with 52.81% statewide. Math proficiency was 72.38%, well above the state’s 43.11% and higher than nearby Liberty Senior High School and Skyline High School, though below the district average and Eastlake High School. The latest science result is suppressed, so it is unknown; previous results, ranging from 81.12% to 85.45%, were strong.

Student outcomes are also encouraging. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 94.9%, well above Washington’s 82.6%, while the dropout rate improved to 1.3%. Graduation outcomes were higher at Liberty Senior High School, Skyline High School, and Eastlake High School. Eastlake is the clearest nearby academic benchmark, ranking 6th statewide and exceeding Issaquah in ELA, math, and graduation. Issaquah’s subgroup effectiveness is generally very strong, including a latest statewide ranking of 1st out of 104 schools for English Language Learners. Parents may want to watch overall math, the small graduation-rate gap with nearby district schools, and the latest African American subgroup result, which was positive but less consistently high than most others.
