The school district is involved in trying to reach the Native American population that has a large number of students in their ranks....some of those kids have done well....they have a special program called Tall Cedars that is geared to help these kids especially have a real chance to get a high school diploma. When my son went to the High School, I liked being able to get emails , etc from the school & felt like I could speak to them about situations & concerns I had regarding his education. Pus it is in a beautiful little town! :)

I love it. My daughter came here in 3rd grade. She is in track,soccer,volleyball and basketball. Her teachers and friends support her in and out of school.

I love the way La Conner is put together the school activity and the way they keep every student involved.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Washington used the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 4 and 7, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The MSP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
