Summary

Glacier Peak High School is a public school serving grades 9–12 in Snohomish, Washington, with 1,642 students and a comprehensive high school program in the Snohomish School District.

The school is among Washington’s stronger high schools, ranking 45th of 396 statewide in 2025–2026, in the 89th percentile, with a four-star rating. Its standout strength is English Language Arts: 84.52% of students were proficient, compared with 62.38% in the Snohomish School District and 52.81% statewide. That result was nearly identical to North Creek High School at 84.83% and slightly higher than Henry M. Jackson High School at 83.62%. Math was solid compared with state results, with 55.39% proficient, but it remains the clearest improvement opportunity because it trails North Creek and Henry M. Jackson and is about 29 percentage points below Glacier Peak’s ELA rate. Science proficiency was 57.78%, above the state but below those same two high-performing schools and Snohomish High School.

Glacier Peak also reports strong completion outcomes: its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 95.5%, while its dropout rate was only 1.4%, both substantially better than state averages. Its results compare favorably with Lynnwood High School, Cascade High School, and Mariner High School, though North Creek and Henry M. Jackson currently rank higher overall. Subgroup effectiveness is especially strong for Hispanic students, at the 98th percentile statewide, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, at the 93rd percentile. Special education results, at the 65th percentile, are a relative area for continued attention. With a 25.0-to-1 student-teacher ratio, Glacier Peak achieves these outcomes despite somewhat larger reported classes than nearby comprehensive schools.
