Summary:
ZIP code 98020 has one high school, Scriber Lake High School, serving grades 9–12 in the Edmonds area. The school enrolls 197 students and is part of the Edmonds School District, which performs above the statewide average overall. Because there is only one high school in the ZIP code, families cannot compare local schools directly and should consider the school’s results alongside district and Washington averages.
Scriber Lake High School shows its strongest academic results in science. In 2025–2026, 50% of students were proficient in science, nearly matching the state rate of 50.95%; 11th-grade science performance was slightly above the state average. ELA proficiency was lower at 30%, compared with 52.81% statewide, while math was the clearest weakness, with only 10.71% of students proficient compared with 43.11% statewide. The school’s ranking improved from the 16th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 24th percentile in 2025–2026, although it remained below its 34th-percentile standing in 2023–2024.
Graduation and persistence are the most important concerns for families to investigate. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 51.8%, well below the district’s 85.9% and the state’s 82.6%, while the dropout rate was 16.6%, higher than both the district and state. The school has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 12.9 to 1, but also serves a high-need student population, with 66.5% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Parents may want to ask about credit recovery, attendance support, counseling, math interventions, and pathways to graduation. The school’s stronger science results may also indicate instructional practices worth building upon.
