The South Whidbey School District's demographics reflect a diverse student body: 87.9% White, 3.9% Hispanic, 1.7% Black, 3.5% Asian, and 3% Other. Although there have been significant improvements in science across the district, challenges remain in writing, which did not meet AYP standards. Comparisons with the state show that South Whidbey outperforms similar districts in reading, math, and writing. We are aligning our curriculum with state and Common Core standards, emphasizing high expectations and continuous improvement to ensure career and college readiness.
