The Shoreline School District (No. 412) is a public school district in King County, Washington, United States of America, which serves the cities of Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.[2] It currently enrolls 9,456 students, and staffs 1,019 employees as of the 2020–2021 school year.[3] It is located right on the boundary between King County and Snohomish County.

The District currently controls 15 schools; 1 Early Learning Center, 9 elementary schools, 1 K–8 STEM school, 2 middle schools and 2 high schools, Shorecrest and Shorewood. Former school buildings have been reused for many tasks, with the original Shoreline High School being repurposed for City of Shoreline endeavors as well as District offices. North City Elementary has been reused temporarily as Parkwood Elementary was in the process of being remodeled, and North City has also been used as a testing facility.

Following Rebecca Miner's resignation,[4] on July 1, 2021, Dr. Susana Reyes became Superintendent of the Shoreline School District, after a five-month search.[5]

Budget

The Superintendent of the Shoreline School District makes $316,504, the sixth highest salary in the state of Washington, beating out districts like Bellevue School District which enrolls double the number of students.[6]

The 2020–2021 school year General Fund Budget was $154,952,663.[3]

Demographics

The 65,000-member communities are predominantly middle-class with a high percentage of college graduates and professional people. The district's 9,560 student population is 8.3% African American, 0.6% Native Hawaiian, 13.1% Asian, 0.3% Native American, 13.8% Hispanic, and 51.5% Caucasian.[7]

Parental involvement is high with a Parent Teacher Association that is one of the most active in the state. The district encourages parent participation at all levels.

Construction

Shoreline has had strong support with bond and levy measures from the district's voters. In February 2010, voters approved a bond issue for the modernization/replacement of both Shorecrest and Shorewood High Schools. The new Shorewood High School opened in the fall of 2013. Shorecrest opened its new gymnasium in September 2012, the Performing Arts Building in early 2013, and the main academic building in early 2014.

In February 2017, voters approved a bond issue to rebuild Parkwood Elementary, and both middle schools. The new Parkwood opened in the fall of 2019. The new middle schools opened in the fall of 2020.[8]

Technology

With strong support from voters in approving the 2010 technology levy, Shoreline School District piloted an iPad program for students at Shorewood High School for the 2011–2012 school year with considerable success. For 2012–2013, the program was expanded to Shorecrest High School, and all students in grades 9 to 12 could've received an iPad for use both at school and at home.

As of the 2018–2019 school year, the high schools participate in a school Chromebook program, which allows students the use of a Lenovo Chromebook for the completion of schoolwork. The program is run by the school district.[9]
