My experience with Shoreline School district has been meaningful and enjoyable in equal measure because of the wonderful teachers and staff in my school. My school offers a program called AVID that teaches students academic skills to aid their success in high school and beyond. Never have I felt more accepted and inspired than by my heroic teacher, Mrs. Haines, and my diligent peers. Through compassion and perseverance, the AVID program has helped me recognize my potential and challenge myself in a supportive learning environment. It has also become a second family, with diverse teachers and students that are accepting and supportive of me and all others. My teachers have also helped me attain life-changing opportunities. My English teacher assisted me in applying to New York Times Summer Academy, and my counselor worked with our school district to cover my application fee, which was a barrier for my family. Because of them I will be spending my summer learning in New York City!
Shoreline School District has a lot of diversity and a good variety of programs and services. The majority of students are able to get all their needs met. There are both standouts and mediocre examples among the faculty and leadership. The district is growing very fast and needs more long-term planning in order to be able to accommodate all of the students that are moving into the area. The elementary schools rely heavily on parent involvement, so the schools in the nicer neighborhoods have much more support than those in the lower income areas. There are have some serious staffing issues of late, especially around bus drivers and para personnel. The schools did a good job of protecting students and offering services during the pandemic. However, the faculty was constantly asked to pivot without much warning or training. There is a new superintendent and hopefully her leadership will be what the district needs in the coming decade.
The student culture is wonderful and diverse, and there is a large focus on equity and social justice. As a queer person of color I feel comfortable and happy in the social environment that has been established. There are a wide variety of clubs and many, many ways to get involved in the community and gain leadership experience. The courses are fairly rigorous, and while some AP classes are offered the selection is limited and AP classes can only be taken starting sophomore year. The honors courses have been watered down in the name of equity to the point of redundancy. If you want to push yourself, you have to seek opportunities beyond the classroom, because the courses aren't extremely rigorous.
