School districts

Six school districts have earned Level One Green School District recognition, 4 have earned both Level Two and Level Three recognition, and 2 have earned Sustaining Green School District recognition for maintaining and building on their sustainability practices.
School district success stories
Schools and their student environmental teams
Two hundred ninety-three schools across 17 school districts, 36 cities, and unincorporated areas have earned recognition as King County Green Schools. When a school earns Level One recognition, we award them with a banner and add their successes to this page. We award a banner sticker or ribbon when schools earn recognition at more program levels.
Each school year, over 200,000 students in participating schools had opportunities to learn about and engage in waste reduction, recycling, and other conservation practices.
We also recognize student teams that accomplish sustainability activities. Student teams can be any size. Some teams are part of an existing club or class.
- In Spring 2023, we recognized 88 student teams for their 2022-2023 activities.
- In Spring 2022, we recognized 57 student teams for their 2021-2022 activities.
- In Spring 2021, we recognized 31 student teams for their 2020-2021 activities.
Public school success stories are organized by school district. Private schools are listed under "Private Schools."
