There is only one more week to apply to our secondary schools of choice. The application will close at 11:00 p.m. on January 31. 

Students have a lot of options when it comes to middle and high school--either their neighborhood school or a school of choice. Secondary schools of choice include Big Picture, CHOICE Academy, Raisbeck Aviation High School, the new Maritime High School and the Highline Virtual Academy as well as the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Mount Rainier High School. 

Highline Virtual Academy is launching this fall for students in 6th through 12th grade. Students who thrive in independent and online learning will benefit from attending the Highline Virtual Academy. Flexibility and self-pace are two important components of the academy’s learning model. 

To ensure an equitable process, we are changing the process of identifying students eligible for Highly Capable Services. The annual identification window will shift from spring 2021 to fall 2021.
