I love this school! By far the best high school. The teachers and staff are so helpful and supportive in making sure you can achieve academic success despite adverse experiences. They have made a huge impact on my high school career.
They are very accepting of 504 plans and made accommodations accordingly which was fantastic. It is a safe and inclusive community and overall is just a wonderful school to be a part of.

I transferred to ISWA during COVID-19. The transition was quick and easy, and I immediately felt supported by my teachers and advisors. ISWA is extremely involved with community events, clubs, and sharing resources. It is impossible to ignore the care that they have for their staff and students.
I normally wanted to avoid joining a homeschool program, but Insight was a program I thoroughly enjoyed! The teacher-to-student help and teaching was what I liked because if you had a question or didn't understand something, you could ask and receive answers immediately, along with visual tutoring. I would recommend my siblings and even those outside who are looking for a homeschool program with real-time help, to Insight.
I have done much better in school since I have been enrolled in this amazing online school! This school has very understanding teachers, and offers a great variety of courses for all of your interest and career needs.
The teachers are super sweet and the whole experience was amazing. I am so glad that I changed to online school. I am able to get the one-on-one time that I need and also advance ahead of my peers and go at my own pace.
With my time at Insight school of WA I experenced modern telecommunications and attentive teachers. This includes a helpful homeroom model of progress reports and check ins. They also provide an easy acsess for parental guidence in the homeschooling framework.
I loved the flexibility that I had with the school work, and all of my teachers were extremely supportive. I feel I succeeded in most of my classes. I wish there was more clubs or activities to grow closer to my classmates, as there were no opportunities to meet anyone close to where I live on field trips, and there were limited clubs I could join to find people I had things in common with.
Having the chance to complete my school work remotely has tremendously increased my focus level and has helped me flourish academically. The teachers are nothing but wonderful and strive to see all students succeed. I've never had any complaints regarding coursework, course schedules, online class connects, teachers, etc. Love this school!
This middle school is absolutely dreadful. I appreciate the support from the teachers, but it kind of ruins it when they give you days worth of work in one day and than offer guidance. The curriculum is great, if you are in Highschool. The work is slightly altered around Highschool and college level work for middle schoolers. This may sound like a good thing, but it was a not thought out mistake. If you cant run a middle school with proper schooling for one, then maybe rethink your actions. This school would be great, if there wasn't so much work. Pages and pages, quiz after quiz, multiple tests every week. I usually don't finish my work until 7-9:00. I could go faster, but it gets hard having motivation to finish your assignments, when you know there's going to be even more tomorrow. This school also needs to take into consideration that were in a pandemic, we need break days to catch up, and that I'm in multiple classes, not just one where I have all the time to do this assignment.
I am currently attending my sophomore year at Insight. So far, it has been an overall pleasant experience. The school's structure allows me to maintain my 4.0 GPA, and the staff is kind and supportive. Since I first joined Insight, I have made many friends and memories. My only real problem with the school is that it offers no music courses. If we had one or two simple music courses, I would be happy. I, being a musician, understand how hard it can be to find good resources and affordable educational opportunities in the music industry.
This school changed my life. I used to have extremely terrible grades but when I transferred here the lowest grade I earned was a B+. That's incredible for me, it's super easy and not confusing and you get all the help you need! I'd stay in school forever if it was like this!
I love the flexibility of online learning and Insight School of Washington made it an easy transition from in person classes to virtual classrooms. I am able to continue my high school while working part time.
Switching to insight was the best decision of my life. If you are not the best student and making horrible grades I 100% recommend switching here I honestly am 85% sure I wouldn't graduate high school without insight
Insight school is actually a very fine and unique school, when I first joined it I thought it was gonna be extremely complex and wasn't even expecting the teachers to care. I've been a student at insight for almost 4 years, and I can say with all honesty that insight is such a great school. The teachers are very helpful and always help you stay on track.
My daughter went here for a year and she got nothing from it. The teacher would kick her out of class. My daughter just quit caring because she felt the teacher was constantly on her. So I had to fight to get her to go to school each day. She got behind and then she busted her butt at the end to get all her homework in and still got a 0 in all her classes. This is in the special education classes so if your kid is in the regular classes it's probably even worse! Waste of a year! I would definitely not recommend this school to my worst enemy.

i don't feel bullied here because no one sees each other. this means i don't have to worry about school crises like active shooters.
It was a great school! With it being online school I was able to work at my own pace and learn at my own pace. They had a great program to teach over so students we able to see a board and see a shared screen with the teacher. The teachers also held help sessions for all students and students were able to go if they needed help. Overall it was a great school!
This is a great school that's dedicated to helping you learn and graduate. I started attending ISWA in 2017 and have continued to attend because this school cares about how I'm doing. There are weekly meetings with your advisor so you can check in and see how your progress is doing and if you need any help which is something you receive at a traditional brick and mortar school. Teachers are dedicated to helping you learn and do a great job explaining the material as well as making sure you are involved. Even though it's an online school, I've always felt safe and haven't had any problems with students or teachers. Only complaint is that they do some more research into hiring outside teachers in the future. Overall this is a great school that cares about students and is dedicated to help them graduate.
I have really enjoyed my time at Insight School of Washington. This is my first year switching back to online school from taking a few years off from it, and it has been great so far! Online school in general is great for someone who is self-motivated and likes to learn independently, and that is definitely fitting for me. Insight has done a great job in making me feel very confident and comfortable with my work. The teachers are very kind and very good at their jobs, they are super helpful when you need a little extra guidance. I also like how Insight has many different clubs, and even has an LGBTQ/etc. meeting every week. Really helpful for kids who need some encouragement with feeling comfortable in themselves.
This is my first year of online school, and I'm loving it way better than public school. I have been able to complete all my work in record time, keep track of all my assignments and stay caught up on them, and actually feel like I have a support system at almost any time who I can ask for help from. It's been awesome to be able to work around my schedule and do all my credits from home. Plus, Running Start and Skills Center are both still available to do alongside the online courses, leaving the opportunity to earn college credit along side your high school diploma!
