Summary

Glacier Peak High School is a large, high-performing public high school serving about 1,642 students in grades 9-12 within the Snohomish School District in Washington state.

This school is a consistent academic leader, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 86th percentile statewide. It excels in English Language Arts, where 85% of students are proficient, and boasts an excellent 95.5% graduation rate with a very low dropout rate. Within its own district, Glacier Peak High School significantly outpaces Snohomish High School in core academic performance. The school is also distinguished by its highly effective support for specific student groups, with its economically disadvantaged and Hispanic students achieving state rankings in the 92nd and 95th percentiles, respectively.

Glacier Peak operates in an area with other top schools, ranking slightly below nearby elite options like Henry M. Jackson High School and North Creek High School, but it achieves its strong results with a higher student-teacher ratio. Compared to other neighboring schools such as Mariner High School and Cascade High School, Glacier Peak's academic metrics are notably stronger. The data suggests mathematics is a relative area for growth, as proficiency there, while above average, is lower than its exceptional English scores and those of the highest-ranked local schools.
