Summary:
ZIP code 98498 has two high schools in the Clover Park School District: Lakes High School, serving grades 9–12, and Alfaretta House, serving grades 11–12. Together, they enroll 1,184 students, with Lakes serving nearly 98% of the students in the area’s school listing. The schools have very different sizes and likely different educational roles, so their results should not be compared as though they offer the same type of program.
Lakes High School has the most complete performance information and shows a mixed profile. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 96.5%, higher than both the district’s 93.6% and Washington’s 82.6%. English Language Arts is another strength: 57.43% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, above both the district and state. Science proficiency was 39.85%, slightly above the district but below the state. The main concern is math, where only 19.32% of students were proficient—below the district’s 28.80% and the state’s 43.11%. Math did improve from the prior year, while science also rose, but ELA declined modestly. Lakes’ statewide ranking improved from the 29th to the 35th percentile, although the school remains below the statewide midpoint.
Alfaretta House is much smaller, with 26 students in grades 11–12, and its supplied records do not include test scores, graduation results, dropout data, or a student-teacher ratio. Its reported free/reduced-price lunch rate is 73.08%, compared with 56.3% at Lakes, while reported per-student spending is $8,051 versus $20,247 at Lakes; these figures should be interpreted cautiously because school size and program structure can affect them. For parents, the clearest conclusion is that Lakes offers strong graduation and ELA results but needs substantial math improvement, while Alfaretta’s limited public outcome data make it impossible to assess academic performance from this information alone.
