Overview of the Everett School District The Everett School District stretches approximately fifteen miles from Union Slough on the north to 195th Street Southeast at its southernmost boundary. The average width is a little more than two and a half miles, giving the District an area of approximately 39 square miles. The District includes most of the City of Everett, all but a very small area of the City of Mill Creek, and portions of unincorporated Snohomish County. Total population within the District in 1999 was about 102,736 people. The District serves 17,633 students (October, 1999) in 16 elementary schools, five middle schools, three comprehensive high schools, one alternative high school and 81 portable classrooms. Full and part-time District staff number approximately 2,250. Significant Issues Related To Facility Planning In The Everett School District The most significant school facility issues facing the Everett School District are: 1) the need to construct more permanent facilities for current unhoused students and anticipated enrollment growth, and 2) the need to upgrade older facilities so they can continue to serve students in the decades ahead. • The District anticipates the need for new facilities at the elementary and high school levels by 2005 to accommodate unhoused students. Projections for unhoused students are based on existing unhoused students, enrollment growth and planned program changes. By 2012, new facilities are anticipated to be needed at all grade levels. • The acquisition of property for new schools or additions to existing schools will be a challenge, as the number of suitable locations diminish and the prices escalate. This is especially true in the northern, more densely populated portion of the District where sites of the required size for new schools are simply not reasonably available. 1 Full Time Equivalents (FTE) which includes half the students attending Kindergarten and all students attending grades 1-12.
