Summary

Ingraham High School is a public grades 9–12 school in Seattle serving 1,391 students, with a student-teacher ratio of 20.4 to 1. It is part of the Seattle School District No. 1, which ranks 45th of 238 Washington districts. Ingraham ranks 67th of 396 Washington high schools, placing it in the 83rd percentile statewide. That is a strong overall position, although the school ranked 42nd the previous year and has generally placed higher in several earlier years. Its 31.13% free- or reduced-price lunch rate indicates a more economically diverse enrollment than nearby Lincoln High School, Roosevelt High School, and Ballard High School.

Academically, Ingraham’s clearest strength is English Language Arts: 80.49% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, well above both the district’s 68.13% and Washington’s 52.81%. This was similar to Shorecrest High School and ahead of Nathan Hale High School. Math was more mixed, with 52.55% proficiency—above the state but below the district and most highly ranked nearby schools. Science was the main concern: proficiency fell sharply from 67.48% to 47.09% in one year, below both district and state results and lower than the larger nearby schools, including Inglemoor High School and Shorewood High School.

Ingraham’s 87.9% graduation rate in 2024–2025 was above the district’s 86.1% and Washington’s 82.6%, while its 6.5% dropout rate was below both comparison figures. However, graduation remained below most nearby comprehensive high schools, and the recent decline deserves monitoring. A notable strength is support for students receiving special education services: the school ranked in the 94th percentile statewide for this group. Overall, Ingraham appears strong in ELA, student persistence, and special education effectiveness, but parents should pay particular attention to the school’s math results, dramatic science decline, and progress in closing performance gaps. Its high spending and favorable staffing ratio provide resources for targeted improvement.
