Mukilteo School District No. 6 is a public school district that mainly serves Mukilteo, Washington. The Mukilteo School District includes all of the city, but also a portion of south Everett, Lynnwood, and Edmonds. The district had more than 14,600 students in 2013-14 and a budget of approximately $147 million.
Organized in 1878, the district has two high schools, one alternative high school, four middle schools, 12 elementary schools, and one kindergarten-only school. It also administers an Everett-based technical high school serving surrounding school districts. It is the sixth oldest district in the state.
The school district had no high school until the opening of Mariner High School in 1970. Prior to that, students from tenth grade onwards had to attend Cascade High School or Everett High School in the neighboring Everett School District. While the lack of a high school led to attempts in 1916 and 1959 to merge the district into the Everett district, both attempts failed; the latter involved the passage of bonds to fund the district's share in the construction of Cascade.
With the opening of Kamiak High School in 1993, the district switched from junior high to middle schools, adding two of the latter in the process. As a result, sixth grade was moved from elementary to middle school while ninth grade was moved from junior high to high school.
The school district had a teachers' strike of 33 days in 1990, pushing the last day of school for the 1990-91 school year to July 2. This was resolved using collaborative bargaining. A 3-year contract was signed and school councils were established to continue the process of collaboration.
