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 District serves 17,700 students (October, 2005) in 16 elementary schools, five middle schools, three comprehensive high schools, one alternative high school and 75 portable classrooms. Full and part-time District staff number approximately 2000.
