By the Numbers: Counting Schools, Not Sheep (Although Maybe Some Sheep Too?)
According to the reliable folks at Niche [a website about schools], there are a whopping 706 public high schools in Washington state. That's enough schools to house an army of future lumberjacks, tech moguls, and, of course, champion rain boot wearers.
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
But wait, there's more! The Washington Workforce Portal tells a slightly different story, listing 313 high schools that participate in their program. Hold on, are we missing some schools? Did a rogue Bigfoot decide to homeschool his brood?

The answer, my friends, is likely a mix of public vs. private schools and the specific criteria used in each count. Whatever the case, one thing's for sure: Washington has a lot of teenagers getting their learn on!
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
