The Snoqualmie Valley School District educates approximately 7,400 students in 11 schools – serving families in Fall City, North Bend, and Snoqualmie in Washington State. The Snoqualmie Valley School District is located in the scenic foothills of the Cascade Mountains in Washington State, approximately 30 miles east of Seattle. The District is one of the largest school districts in the state, covering more than 400 square miles and serving the communities of Snoqualmie, North Bend, Fall City and surrounding areas of unincorporated King County. Snoqualmie Valley’s award-winning schools serve approximately 7,200 students, ranging in ages from preschool through 12th grade, and students with special needs through age 21. The District’s mission is to prepare all Snoqualmie Valley students for college, career, and citizenship. To accomplish this, our 11 schools provide rigorous academic curriculum, career education options, a broad range of extracurricular experiences, extensive technology resources and student support services, in a positive and safe environment. In fall of 2019, we rolled out a One-to-one Computing Initiative to ensure all students in grades 6-12 have equitable access to learning resources at home; this effort continued for preschool through 5th grade to support remote learning in 2020. With a commitment to continuous school improvement, the District focuses heavy support to develop and sustain great teaching in every classroom. Educators are offered superior professional development, instructional coaching, peer mentor support, and extensive technology training, support and resources. Student achievement has continued to trend upward in recent years. Our four-year district graduation rate is 98% graduating. Snoqualmie Valley is the only school district in Washington State — and one of only five districts in the nation — to earn the prestigious AP Honor Roll distinction for six consecutive years from 2010 to 2015; this award recognized increase
