Seattle Public Schools considers merging up to 21 schools

Seattle Public Schools is considering merging as many as 21 schools across the city. Why it matters: The potential mergers could force students to change schools, disrupt neighborhood school communities and reshape access to educational programs across the district.

Zoom in: The district confirmed to KUOW that the following schools are being considered for mergers, with each line showing which schools could be combined: Licton Springs K-8 School/Salmon Bay K-8 School Sacajawea Elementary School/John Rogers Elementary School Rainier View Elementary School/Rising Star Elementary School John Hay Elementary School/Queen Anne Elementary School Stevens Elementary School/Montlake Elementary School Orca K-8 School/MLK Jr. Elementary School/Mercer International Middle School Decatur Elementary School/View Ridge Elementary School Sanislo Elementary/Highland Park Elementary School Sand Point Elementary School/Laurelhurst Elementary School Cedar Park Elementary School/James Baldwin Elementary School Driving the news: Shuldiner outlined the merger process in a letter to families last week, saying the district hopes to improve

SILVERDALE — The high school football playoff-qualifying teams in the Class 2A Olympic League are decided. Now it's a matter of finding out who's playing who in the Round of 32. Olympic and North Kitsap both took care of business Friday, Oct. 30, securing home wins to finish tied atop the league standings with 6-1 records. The Trojans defeated Bremerton 30-15 and the Vikings shut out Kingston 24-0 to earn a share of the regular season league title. For Olympic (7-2 overall, 6-2 in league), it's the third consecutive season the team can call itself league champs, having claimed it outright in 2025 and sharing the title with North Kitsap and Bainbridge in 2024. Playoff seeding committees are scheduled to meet Sunday morning to determine the 16 playoff matchups in 2A (the format is 1 vs. 32, 2 vs. 31, etc. with higher-seeds hosting games).
