of 396 Washington High Schools

Better than 92% of Washington high schools

Summary

Juanita High School in Kirkland, Washington, serves 1,778 students in grades 9–12 and is part of the highly rated Lake Washington School District, in a region known for strong academic performance. The school ranked 32nd out of 396 Washington high schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 92nd percentile statewide. Its long-term standing has improved substantially, from 127th in 2015–16 to the state’s top tier today. Juanita’s 19.7:1 student-teacher ratio and $18,058 per-student spending are broadly typical for large nearby high schools.

Academically, Juanita is well above Washington averages, with 76.32% of students proficient in English language arts, 53.81% in math, and 74.71% in science. Math is the clearest area for improvement: the school trails its district’s 75.03% math proficiency rate by 21.22 points and also falls behind nearby Lake Washington High School, Inglemoor High School, and Woodinville High School. Juanita’s ELA and science results are stronger relative to the state, although both declined in 2025–26. It remains notably ahead of Bothell High School overall, while the smaller, specialized International Community School is not a directly comparable benchmark.

Juanita’s 92.1% graduation rate is well above Washington’s 82.6% but below several nearby schools, including Woodinville at 96.6%, Bothell at 96.2%, and Inglemoor at 95.2%. Its 3.3% dropout rate is far below the state’s 9.8% and close to the district average. The school ranks especially well for special education, low-income, homeless, African American, male, and White student groups, but its recent effectiveness rankings for English Language Learners and Hispanic students are weaker and merit attention. Overall, Juanita is a strong statewide school whose main priorities are improving math, monitoring recent ELA and science declines, and ensuring consistent outcomes across student groups.
