Summary:
Zip code 98421 contains one public high school, Summit Public School: Olympus, a small grades 9-12 school of 110 students that operates as its own district.
This school offers a very small, personalized environment with a 10-to-1 student-teacher ratio and serves a student population where a majority qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. A notable feature is its high per-student spending of $22,729, which is significantly above typical state levels. However, its academic performance, particularly in mathematics where only 10% of students are proficient, ranks in the bottom 11% of Washington high schools, and its state ranking has declined over the past three years.
Despite the lower proficiency rates, the school's 84% graduation rate is slightly above the state average. The significant gap between high resource allocation and current academic outcomes, coupled with the recent downward trend in rankings, suggests parents may want to investigate the specific educational model and supports in place to understand how the school's environment translates to student learning and preparation for life after graduation.
