Summary:
ZIP code 98201 includes three high schools serving grades 6–12: Everett High School and Sequoia High School, both in the Everett School District, plus the specialized Snohomish Detention Center in Northwest Educational Service District 189.
Everett High School is the strongest overall option based on the available academic data. It serves 1,643 students in grades 9–12, ranks at the 59th percentile statewide, and has a 94.2% graduation rate. Its English language arts proficiency is 61.92%, above the state average, while science proficiency is close to the state level. Math is the main concern, with 29.95% of students proficient compared with 43.11% statewide. The school also reports a 2.5% dropout rate, substantially below the state rate.
Sequoia High School is much smaller, with 145 students, and provides more intensive staffing and higher spending per student. Its 90% graduation rate is above the state average, but its academic assessment results are considerably lower than Everett High School: 28.89% in ELA, 6.82% in math, and 38.98% in science. The small enrollment and different school model make year-to-year results more variable, so families may want to ask about programs, student support, and assessment participation. The eight-student Snohomish Detention Center is a specialized setting with insufficient public data for a meaningful comparison.
