Schools
Schools in 17 school districts and 35 cities in King County have earned recognition as King County Green Schools. Over 151,000 students in participating schools have had opportunities to learn about and engage in waste reduction, recycling, and other conservation practices.
As of March 2020:
- 271 schools have received recognition as Level One King County Green Schools
- 161 schools have received recognition as Level Two King County Green Schools
- 125 schools have received recognition as Level Three King County Green Schools
- 76 schools have received recognition as Sustaining Green Schools in one or more years
Each school received a certificate of recognition, a "We are a King County Green School" banner – or a "Level Two" or "Level Three" sticker or "Sustaining Green School" ribbon to place on their banner – as well as a success story on this web page and mention in a press release issued by King County.
The schools are divided according to school district. Private schools are listed under "Private Schools." Select a school district or "private schools" and then read school success stories by clicking on the school names.
