ECHO GLEN SCHOOL

Echo Glen School is a public high school that is part of the Issaquah School District school district, located in SNOQUALMIE, WA with about 120 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 10 teachers, Echo Glen School has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Echo Glen School is a unique educational facility located on the campus of the Echo Glen Children’s Center in Snoqualmie, Washington. It operates as a state-run school specifically designed to serve youth who have been committed to the Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration (JRA). Because of its setting, the school provides a highly structured and secure environment where the primary focus is on balancing mandated state curriculum with the specialized behavioral and emotional needs of its student population.

Academically, the school offers a standard high school curriculum, including opportunities for students to earn a high school diploma or a GED. Recognizing the diverse backgrounds and interrupted education histories of its students, the school emphasizes credit recovery and individualized learning plans to help them bridge gaps in their schooling. By fostering a supportive, trauma-informed learning atmosphere, Echo Glen School aims to provide its students with the academic credentials and life skills necessary to facilitate a successful transition back into their communities upon release.
