• Mission Statement

    The mission of the Shoreline School District is to provide a collaborative learning community which engages all students in learning the academic and work-life skills needed to achieve their individual potential and become responsible citizens. 

    District Profile - A tradition of excellence and involvement

    The Shoreline School District, serving the communities of Shoreline and Lake Forest Park, has long been known for its quality schools and community involvement. Literally reaching from shore to shore – with Puget Sound to the west and Lake Washington to the east – the district just north of Seattle serves about 8,900 students with a highly dedicated staff and a mission to help each student reach his or her full potential.

    Families move to the Shoreline and Lake Forest Park communities because of the quality of the schools. Shoreline students consistently score above the state and national averages on standardized tests and nearly 85 percent of the students who graduate from Shoreline schools pursue post-secondary education.

    The school district has strong parent involvement at all levels, including one of the strongest PTA Councils in the state. Individual school PTAs are routinely cited for award-winning programs that support student learning and enrichment.

    Shoreline has a proud tradition of leadership in music education, with its choirs, bands, and orchestras performing at the highest levels. The district also provides a full menu of student activities, including strong drama and sports programs.

    Secondary honors and AP classes are open to all students who meet the course requirements and want to achieve at the highest academic levels. The district is also a state leader in enhancing student instruction through the use of technology. All secondary students receive a Chromebook for use at school and at home.

In February 2017, over 73 percent of Shoreline School District voters approved a $250 million bond to construct an Early Learning Center and rebuild Parkwood Elementary, Kellogg Middle School, and Einstein Middle School. The district also has one of the most active PTAs in the state and high parent and community involvement at all levels.
