The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My overall experience was pretty good compared to most high schools. My freshman year we were still in masks because of Covid and was laid back. My sophomore year was also fun too. I got to get a chance to make friends and get to know more teachers. My junior year was really fun. I have pretty good grade and I know a lot more teachers and I got more friends. I also Got more involved with the school. My senior year so far is the best. I'm getting to look at colleges and scholarships. I have amazing grade so far too.

Our new administration is more focused on making sure that the struggling students succeed and in the process they lessen the amount of resources given to the high achieving students therefore limiting them.

This school is medium size with just under 2000 students. I enjoy the variety of classes available which include hands on learning. A favorite of mine was glass art.

I’ve personally been harassed by admins who are only there...

The district only cares about the teachers and gives zero cares for the students, the teachers don't do their jobs to the fullest and lack any connection with the students. Probably one of the worse schools in the area. Popularity is everything here and if your family isn't well known in the town yo...

I've lived in Stanwood my entire life, and I can safely say that although there are some shady people here, our acedemics and sports are above average.
