Summary

La Conner High School is a small public high school serving 177 students in grades 9-12 within the La Conner School District, a district that faces significant challenges ranking in the bottom quartile statewide.

The school serves a community with high economic need, with nearly 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and invests more per student ($24,774) than nearby comprehensive high schools like Anacortes High School and Mount Vernon High School. Despite this investment, academic proficiency, especially in math (15.6%) and science (26.5%), lags far behind these neighboring schools, which have similar or lower spending and, in some cases, similar student demographics.

While the school's academic performance has been volatile and currently ranks in the bottom 20% of state high schools, it shows notable strengths in supporting students to graduation, with an 81% graduation rate and a dropout rate better than the state average. This indicates a supportive environment that helps students persist, even as the school works to improve core academic mastery and address performance gaps for its economically disadvantaged students.
