The Shoreline School District (No. 412) is a public school district in King County, Washington, United States of America, which serves the cities of Shoreline and Lake Forest Park. It currently enrolls 9,456 students, and staffs 1,019 employees as of the 2020-2021 school year.[1] It is located right on the boundary between King County and Snohomish County.
The District currently controls 15 schools; 1 Early Learning Center, 9 elementary schools, 1 K-8 STEM school, 2 middle schools and 2 high schools, Shorecrest and Shorewood. Former school buildings have been reused for many tasks, with the original Shoreline High School being repurposed for City of Shoreline endeavors as well as District offices. North City Elementary has been reused temporarily as Parkwood Elementary was in the process of being remodeled, and North City has also been used as a testing facility.
Following Rebecca Miner's resignation,[2] on July 1, 2021, Dr. Susana Reyes became Superintendent of the Shoreline School District, after a five-month search.[3]

Shorecrest opened its new gymnasium in September 2012, the Performing Arts Building in early 2013, and the main academic building in early 2014.

With strong support from voters in approving the 2010 technology levy, Shoreline School District piloted an iPad program for students at Shorewood High School for the 2011-12 school year with considerable success.
