Profile interpretation
What the reported data says about Maritime High School
Maritime High School is a public high school serving grades 09–12 in Des Moines. It is one of 37 current school records connected to Highline School District. NCES reports 126 students for 2024–25.
Among 624 high schools in Washington with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 225 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 40th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 15.4:1, below the Washington median of 19.9:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (49.2%) and Hispanic or Latino (24.6%). English learners represent 2.9% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 8.6%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
