Summary

Northshore Learning Options is a K-12 alternative public school serving 428 students in Woodinville, WA, operating within the highly-rated Northshore School District.

As an alternative school designed for students who may benefit from a non-traditional setting, its academic performance is understandably lower than the district's high averages but remains above state averages across English, Math, and Science. The school's graduation rate of 75.4% is below the district's 94.5% but above the state average, reflecting its mission to support at-risk students. Compared to similar schools, it is larger than most, with mid-range per-student spending and a student-teacher ratio of 21.6 to 1. Performance varies by grade, with 5th grade being a particular strength and 10th-grade math presenting a significant challenge.

When looking at nearby alternative options, Emerson K-12 outperforms it academically with a lower student-teacher ratio, while Sky Valley Education Center serves nearly 1,000 students with a higher ratio and lower scores. Parade shows similar English scores but much lower math proficiency. Overall, Northshore Learning Options serves its specialized role effectively within a top-tier district, offering a scalable program that achieves results above state standards for the population it serves.
