Summary

North Creek High School is a large public school serving grades 9–12 in Bothell, Washington, with approximately 1,910 students in the suburban Seattle-area community. It is part of the highly rated Northshore School District, which ranks 12th out of 238 Washington districts. North Creek ranks 19th out of 396 Washington high schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 95th percentile statewide and earning a five-star rating. Its ranking has remained strong for several years and has improved from 40th in 2022–2023.

Academic results are a major strength. In 2025–2026, North Creek’s proficiency rates were 84.83% in English Language Arts, 70.94% in math, and 73.61% in science—well above Washington averages in all three subjects. Math and science have shown especially strong growth since 2022–2023, increasing by 9.38 and 7.30 percentage points, respectively. Compared with nearby large schools, North Creek had the highest math proficiency among the schools listed and was competitive with Woodinville High School and Henry M. Jackson High School. Its ELA result was slightly below Woodinville’s but ahead of most other nearby schools.

North Creek also combines strong achievement with excellent completion outcomes: its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 97.2%, compared with 94.5% for the district and 82.6% statewide, while its dropout rate was just 0.9%. The school appears to achieve these results with broadly typical local staffing and somewhat lower per-student spending than several nearby comprehensive schools. Parents may want to monitor two areas: ELA declined from 87.02% to 84.83% in the latest year, and the English Language Learner subgroup’s effectiveness ranking fell to the 29th percentile after reaching the 79th percentile the prior year. Special education results also softened but remained above the statewide midpoint. Overall, North Creek offers durable academic strength, high graduation rates, and particularly notable recent math improvement.
