School Overview

Tucked away on Whidbey Island in the charming small town of Langley, South Whidbey High School offers something rare: a tight-knit community feel paired with genuinely exceptional academics, particularly in English and science. Families who prioritize a slower pace of island life — think ferry commutes, artsy waterfront villages, and kids who actually know their teachers — will find this school hard to beat. It's the kind of place where strong test scores and a close community aren't a trade-off, and the surrounding South Whidbey landscape makes the whole package feel a little idyllic.
