About School District: The Mercer Island School District, with a K-12 student population of approximately 4,200, enjoys a wide-spread reputation for quality and excellence, combining academics, cultural expression, and athletic achievement. This tradition of excellence is a major reason many families make Mercer Island their home. Achievement test scores at the elementary, middle, and high school levels are consistently the highest in the state. The district maintains a graduation rate of over 95 percent.

In the 2010-11 school year, the Mercer Island Schools Foundation in partnership with the schools’ PTA’s contributed over $1.7 million dollars to maintain teaching positions and instructional support in light of statewide reductions in funding. Quality educators and support personnel are complemented by quality school facilities.
