With about 3 teachers, Port Gardner has a student/teacher ratio of about 41:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.

Port Gardner School, located at 3516 Rucker Avenue in Everett, Washington, serves as a unique alternative educational setting within the Everett Public Schools district. Unlike traditional neighborhood elementary or high schools, Port Gardner functions primarily as a specialized program designed to support students who benefit from a smaller, more personalized learning environment. The school is known for its focus on providing a structured yet flexible approach to academics, catering to students who may need additional social-emotional support or a different pace of instruction than what is offered in a comprehensive school setting.

The school is well-regarded for its tight-knit community and the dedicated relationships built between staff and students. By maintaining smaller class sizes and a specialized curriculum, Port Gardner emphasizes individualized attention, helping students navigate academic challenges while fostering personal growth and accountability. Located in a historic area of Everett, the school remains a vital resource for families seeking a supportive, focused educational experience outside of the traditional classroom model.
