Summary

Mariner High School is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 for about 2,100 students in Everett, Washington, and is part of the Mukilteo School District.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in core subjects and a 75.8% graduation rate that are notably lower than both the state average and most nearby comprehensive high schools like Kamiak High School (89.5% graduation) and Henry M. Jackson High School (98.2% graduation). Mariner serves a student population with a high rate of economic need, with over 62% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is a much higher percentage than these higher-performing neighboring schools. Despite spending more per student than many of its peers, the school has a troublingly high dropout rate of 16%.

However, the analysis shows Mariner has notable strengths in serving specific student groups, performing above average for homeless students, African American students, Asian students, and English Language Learners. A particularly relevant comparison is with Cascade High School in the Everett School District, which serves a similarly high-need population but achieves significantly better graduation and proficiency outcomes, suggesting factors beyond economics are at play. The stark performance gap with Kamiak High School within the same district highlights a significant within-district disparity in student outcomes.

I am a graduate of Mariner High School now living in Canada.. I have to say that without the education that I received out of the Faculty members of this school, I wouldn't have gone off to University, yet alone be in a successful situation that I'm in as of today. I would love to say "Thank You" to all of the Faculty and Staff members and hope they keep up the great work for our future leaders. Close Quote
