Summary

Marysville Pilchuck High School is a large public high school in Marysville, WA, serving grades 9–12 and 1,182 students in the Marysville School District. The school serves a diverse community with relatively high economic need, as 54.91% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Its overall results are mixed: it ranked at the 20th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, while its 77.1% graduation rate was below both the district’s 80.8% and Washington’s 82.6%.

The school’s clearest academic strength is English Language Arts, where 42.92% of students were proficient—above the district average of 38.60%, though below the state’s 52.81%. Mathematics is a major weakness: only 15.42% were proficient, compared with 28.63% districtwide and 43.11% statewide. Science proficiency was 36.6%, nearly matching the district but trailing the state. Compared with nearby comprehensive schools, Marysville Getchell High School had a higher graduation rate of 88.4% and a lower dropout rate of 7.4%. Lake Stevens Senior High School and Arlington High School also substantially outperformed Marysville Pilchuck in graduation and math achievement.

Student persistence is an urgent concern. Marysville Pilchuck’s dropout rate was 14.7% in 2024–2025, higher than the district’s 12.1% and the state’s 9.8%, while graduation fell from 84.5% the previous year. Results for low-income students, students receiving special education services, and English Language Learners were also relatively weak. Although the school reported higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than several comprehensive peers, outcomes remain below those schools. Key improvement priorities are stronger math instruction, attendance and dropout prevention, credit completion, and targeted support that helps students stay engaged and graduate on time.
