Summary

Northshore Learning Options is a K–12 alternative school in Woodinville serving 428 students in the Northshore School District, a highly rated district in the Seattle-area region. The school serves a moderately economically diverse student population, with 19.63% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its student–teacher ratio is 21.6 to 1, and spending was $18,628 per student. As one of the larger alternative programs nearby, it may offer more scale and course options than smaller programs, although larger enrollment can also make individualized support more challenging.

Academically, Northshore Learning Options performed above Washington’s averages in all three reported subjects in 2025–26: 70.37% in English language arts, 52.73% in math, and 74.55% in science. Science is the clearest strength, exceeding the district’s 71.92% result and outperforming reported results at Bellevue Digital Discovery and Sky Valley Education Center. The school also had the highest reported nearby ELA result. Math is more uneven: the overall result trails the district by 13.11 percentage points, with especially low 10th-grade proficiency at 16.67%, while 5th- and 7th-grade results were comparatively strong. Some grade-level results were suppressed and cannot be evaluated.

Completion outcomes are the school’s most important challenge. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 75.4%, below both the district’s 94.5% and Washington’s 82.6%, though it exceeded Bellevue Digital Discovery and trailed Sky Valley Education Center. The dropout rate improved substantially, falling from 11.5% to 7.5%, but it remains well above the district’s 2.4%. Overall, the school combines above-state academic performance—particularly in science—with weaker graduation and retention outcomes. Parents may want to ask about credit recovery, attendance support, graduation planning, and secondary math assistance.
