Summary

Stanwood High School is a large, 3-star public high school serving grades 9-12 for about 1,384 students in the Stanwood-Camano School District, standing out in its region for strong graduation rates and English skills.

The school excels in key areas, with a graduation rate near 90% and English Language Arts proficiency significantly above the state average, outperforming most nearby schools like Marysville Pilchuck High School and Lakewood High School. However, math proficiency is a known challenge, though it remains higher than several neighboring schools. Its student population has a lower rate of economic disadvantage than many area schools, which is a common factor in regional performance comparisons.

While it is one of the stronger comprehensive high schools alongside Arlington High School, Stanwood's statewide ranking has declined in recent years. Performance varies among different student groups, with special education students showing a notable drop in ranking. The school's per-student spending is mid-range for the area, and it significantly outperforms the district's alternative school, Lincoln Hill High School.
