Summary

Parade is a small, alternative public school serving about 86 students from preschool through 12th grade in the community of Carnation, which is part of the highly-regarded Riverview School District.

Academically, Parade shows a mixed performance picture. Its English Language Arts (62.75% proficient) and Science (61.9% proficient) scores are above the Washington state average, which is a strength. However, its Math proficiency (30.77%) is a notable area for improvement, as it lags behind both the state and district averages. It's important for parents to know that while the school is in a strong district, its recent ELA scores have seen a significant drop from the previous year, a trend not seen in some nearby alternative schools like Bellevue Digital Discovery.

When compared to other local alternative schools, Parade sits in the middle for size and per-student spending. A key difference is the student-teacher ratio of 24.5 to 1, which is higher than schools such as Emerson K-12 (15.2 to 1) and may mean less individualized attention. The school serves a student population with a moderate level of economic need, similar to many of its peers. For families, Parade represents a smaller, alternative option in a good district, with clear academic strengths in some subjects but with specific challenges in mathematics that the school community is likely addressing.
