Summary

Cavelero Mid High School is a large, alternative public school serving 1,490 students in grades 8 and 9 within the highly-rated Lake Stevens School District.

Academically, the school shows a clear strength in English Language Arts, where 60% of students are proficient, outperforming the state average. Math and Science scores are closer to the state average but trail behind the district's high performance. Importantly, test scores in both ELA and Math have shown steady improvement over the past few years. The school serves a student population with a moderate level of economic need, and it operates with a slightly higher student-to-teacher ratio than the state average.

Compared to other alternative schools in the region, Cavelero is unique for its large size and specific focus on 8th and 9th graders. It performs better in Math than similar-sized alternatives like Sky Valley Education Center or Parent Partnership, though it lags behind smaller programs like Port Gardner. The school achieves these results with per-student spending that is moderate compared to the wide range seen among other alternative schools, some of which have exceptionally high costs per student.
