Education

Stanwood has one high school, two middle schools, and three elementary schools in town with two others on Camano Island, and one alternative high school for middle and high schoolers. Stanwood High School has about 1,800 students and 87 teachers, and is still growing. A bond was made in the May of 2006 for a new high school that would help relieve the growing population, but was turned down. When the school was built in 1971, it was originally made to hold 800 students. It was originally built as a "California-style" high school, where there were no hallways, and everything was accessed from outside. Since then, additions have been made in 1980, 1993, and 2001.
