Curriculum That Prepares for the Future

Bringing Excellence and Innovation Back to Our Schools

← Back to All Issues

Mercer Island once ranked #1 in Washington. Today, we’ve dropped to #5—with the lowest math scores, second-lowest graduation rate, and a 19.5% decline in Islander student enrollment. While the curriculum budget rose to $13.5M, inflation-adjusted spending has actually fallen 3.5%, and no major new STEM or literacy initiatives have been launched.

I’ll prioritize evidence-based learning, stronger math and science pathways, career training options, and expanded support for special education—so current students thrive and one that makes parents confident in choosing Mercer Island schools.
