Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 98124 include two specialized programs serving a broad range of grades: Interagency Programs serves grades 6–12, while Private School Services serves grades PK–12. Both are associated with Seattle School District No. 1, but neither is a typical neighborhood elementary, middle, or comprehensive high school, so parents should consider each program’s specialized role when reviewing the data.

Interagency Programs has the most complete performance information, but its reported outcomes indicate substantial academic and completion challenges. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 38.2%, compared with 86.1% for the district, and its dropout rate was 26.9%, compared with 7.7% districtwide. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 32.26% in English language arts, 10% in math, and 17.86% in science. Math was the weakest area, while the school’s ranking remained near the bottom of the statewide ranking distribution over the three reported years. At the same time, this program serves a higher-need student population, with 68.25% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and appears designed for students needing intensive support, re-engagement, or alternative pathways. Its high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio likely reflect that specialized mission rather than conventional academic performance alone.

Private School Services serves a different population and has limited publicly available performance data. Its 2024–2025 math proficiency was 33.33%, below both the district’s 59.36% and the state’s 42.63%, but most 2025–2026 assessment results were suppressed and should not be interpreted as zero or poor performance. It reports 184 students and an 11.41% free or reduced-price lunch rate, compared with 211 students and 68.25% at Interagency Programs. Overall, parents should compare these schools by program fit, student supports, grade availability, attendance and completion services, and postsecondary planning—not by district reputation alone or by directly ranking two programs serving notably different needs.
