School Overview

Decatur High School sits in the diverse, working-class community of Federal Way, a city that's carved out its own identity between Seattle and Tacoma along the I-5 corridor. The school serves a genuinely mixed student body, and while test scores trail the state average, families who value a multicultural environment and a school that reflects the real demographic fabric of the Pacific Northwest may find it a comfortable fit. For families new to the area or looking for affordability without leaving the greater Seattle metro, Federal Way offers a grounded, unpretentious place to put down roots.
