Summary:
ZIP code 98124 has one high school: Interagency Programs, a small grades 6–12 school serving students in the Seattle area through Seattle School District No. 1. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, there are no local school-to-school comparisons. Its 211 students and 6:1 student-teacher ratio suggest a highly individualized or specialized program rather than a typical large comprehensive high school.
The school’s main strengths are its small scale and individualized setting. It also reports relatively high per-student spending of $44,768 and serves many students with significant economic needs, with 68.25% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Parents should be aware, however, that the school’s reported outcomes are considerably below district and state averages. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 38.2%, compared with 86.1% for the district and 82.6% statewide. Its dropout rate was 26.9%, compared with 7.7% in the district and 9.8% statewide.
Academic results were also low in 2025–26: 32.26% of students were proficient in English language arts, 10% in math, and 17.86% in science. Math was the clearest weakness, while science proficiency declined from 33.33% the previous year. The school’s ranking history placed it between the 3rd and 8th percentiles over the last three reported years, despite the district receiving a four-star rating and ranking in the 81st percentile among districts. These results should be considered alongside the program’s likely alternative or re-engagement mission, student mobility, credit recovery needs, and potentially small testing groups. Families should ask about graduation pathways, attendance support, credit accumulation, counseling, and how the program’s structure matches their student’s needs.
