FUTURES SCHOOL

Futures School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Lake Washington School District school district, located in Kirkland, WA with about 27 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 2 teachers, Futures School has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

Futures School, located in Kirkland, Washington, is a specialized alternative learning program operating within the Lake Washington School District. Designed to serve students who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school environment, the program focuses on providing a more personalized, flexible, and supportive academic setting. By offering smaller class sizes and a curriculum tailored to individual needs, the school aims to help students who are at risk of falling behind or those who simply require a different educational approach to remain engaged and on track for graduation.

The school emphasizes a close-knit community where students can build stronger relationships with both their peers and dedicated staff members. By prioritizing a supportive social-emotional environment alongside credit recovery and academic instruction, Futures School helps students overcome barriers to success. Its integration into the larger school district ensures that students still have access to district-wide resources and opportunities while benefiting from the focused, individualized attention provided by the Futures program.
