Shoreline School District

The Shoreline School District 412 is the school district in an established residential community north of Seattle and includes the cities of Shoreline and Lake Forest Park in the U.S. state of Washington.

Demographics

The 65,000-member communities are predominantly middle-class with a high percentage of college graduates and professional people. The district's 8,800 student population is 6.5% African-American, 15.5% Asian, 1.3% Native American, 11.3% Hispanic, and 55.3% Caucasian.

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.

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. Those construction projects are now nearly complete. 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.

iPad program

With strong support from the voters in approving the 2010 technology levy, Shoreline School District piloted an iPad program for students at Shorewood High School for the 2011-12 school year with considerable success. For 2012-13 the program has been expanded to Shorecrest High School, as now all students in grades 9 to 12 can receive an iPad for use both at school and at home.
