Summary:

Edmonds Woodway High School is a public high school serving 1,547 students in grades 9-12 in Edmonds, Washington, which is part of the Edmonds School District. The school consistently ranks among the top high schools in Washington, with strong academic performance that exceeds state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds, suggests areas for potential improvement.

Edmonds Woodway's four-year graduation rate has remained relatively high, ranging from 84.1% to 91.0% over the past five school years, though its dropout rate has fluctuated, reaching as high as 11.3% in the most recent 2022-2023 school year. The school's student population is diverse, with a racial makeup that has remained consistent, with White (49.19%), Hispanic (24.37%), Asian (12.41%), and African American (7.95%) students. While Edmonds Woodway performs well for Asian and Multi-racial students, as well as for female and special education students, its performance for African American and Hispanic students, and for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is less consistent.

When compared to other high schools in the Edmonds School District, such as Lynnwood High School and Meadowdale High School, Edmonds Woodway's academic performance is generally stronger. However, when compared to high-performing schools outside the district, such as Ingraham High School in Seattle and Innovation Lab High School in the Northshore School District, Edmonds Woodway's performance is not as consistently strong, particularly in SBAC/Math.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
