Best High Schools in Zip Code 98230

ZIP code 98230 includes two high schools connected with the Blaine School District: Blaine High School, serving grades 9–12, and Blaine Re-Engagement, serving grades 10–12; together they report 580 students, although the schools serve very different purposes and student populations.

Blaine High School is the area’s comprehensive high school and has the most complete performance information. Its 87% graduation rate is above the Washington rate of 82.6%, while its 5.4% dropout rate is well below the state’s 9.8%. In 2025–2026, the school exceeded state results in English language arts and science and was close to the state in math; it also outperformed the district in all three subjects. Math improved from the prior year, but English language arts and science declined, making those subjects important areas to monitor. The school’s ranking also fell from the 88th percentile three years ago to the 66th percentile most recently, though it still ranked above roughly two-thirds of schools included in the comparison. The school enrolls 566 students, has a student-teacher ratio of 20.5, and reports 41.17% free or reduced-price lunch participation.

Blaine Re-Engagement is a much smaller specialized program with 14 students, rather than a traditional high school comparable to Blaine High School. It reports 64.29% free or reduced-price lunch participation and does not have published results for graduation, dropout rates, testing, rankings, or student-teacher ratio. Those missing measures should not be interpreted as poor performance. Families considering the program would benefit from asking about credit completion, graduation pathways, student support, and postsecondary or employment outcomes. Its listed address is in Bellingham, although it appears in the 98230 school results.
