Best-effort rankings

High school rankings

Focus-district high schools ordered by the public OSPI 3-year combined SBAC ELA+Math meeting-standard rate.

52schools with ranking metric

38with complete 3-year data

4missing primary metric

173regional schools in comparison set

Showing 56 focus-district schools. Regional rank uses the broader King, Snohomish, Kitsap, and Pierce county pull for the same level.

Methodology

The ordering uses one public, pre-aggregated OSPI field: SBAC ELA + Math combined, met standard (Levels 3-4), averaged across the available 3-year window. Ties share the same rank. Supporting columns are not folded into the rank.

No peer percentiles, trajectory slopes, competition rollups, PTA capacity, HCC pathway synthesis, or dossier text are used in the ordering.

Caveats

High-school SBAC is mostly grade 10. Graduation, dual-credit, and postsecondary outcomes describe different cohorts and can lag current program changes. Choice, alternative, online, and combined middle/high campuses are flagged where present.

Demographic columns are context for interpretation, not value judgments. Missing public evidence is not converted into a negative signal.

Private schools are absent because WA private schools do not publish state test results, see the private school directory and tuition comparison instead.

A rank tells you where a school lands. Not why, or whether it's moving.

Two schools three ranks apart can be on opposite trajectories, serve very different populations, or differ mostly in who they admit. The $29 Research Pass adds the context this table deliberately leaves out of the ordering: 3-year score trends, percentile vs. demographically similar peers, competition evidence, gifted-pathway detail, and PTA capacity, on every school here, plus 3 full research dossiers for your shortlist.
