Summary:

ZIP code 98296 contains two high schools serving grades 9–12 — one large comprehensive campus and one very small reengagement program — with 1,653 students enrolled between them. Glacier Peak High School, part of Snohomish School District, is the large school, with 1,642 students at a Snohomish, WA address. Open Doors Youth Reengagement, part of Sultan School District, has just 11 students and a Sultan, WA address. Because the two serve very different student populations, they are best understood on their own terms.

Glacier Peak is the clear academic standout. In 2025–2026 it ranked 45th of 396 Washington high schools, at the 89th percentile with 4 stars — up from 63rd the year before, and it has held 4 stars for three straight years. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 95.5%, well above the 82.6% state figure, and its dropout rate was just 1.4% against the state's 9.8%. In 2025–2026, all-grade ELA proficiency was 84.52% (state: 52.81%), math was 55.39% (state: 43.11%), and science was 57.78% — above the state's 50.95% but slightly below its own district's 59.88%, making science its relative weak spot. Its science score did improve about 4 percentage points year over year. It reports an 18.09% free/reduced-lunch rate, $17,623 in per-student spending, and a student-teacher ratio of 25. Its district ranks 40th of 238 with 4 stars, so the school stands out even within a strong district.

Open Doors looks very different: a high-poverty profile with a 63.64% free/reduced-lunch rate and $6,325 in per-student spending. It has no test scores, no rank history, no student-teacher ratio, and no 2024–2025 school-level graduation or dropout figures in this data — these are not reported, not zero. Its district posted an 89.4% graduation rate and a 7.0% dropout rate, both better than the state, and ranks 95th of 238 with 3 stars. Its older school-level figures were much lower (55.0% graduation in 2022–2023 and 46.1% dropout in 2021–2022), and with only 11 students, single-year rates can swing widely.
