Issaquah High School Reviews
Rating 3.96 out of 5 396 reviews
Issaquah High School has a variety of classes available, a relaxed school culture, and a multitude of extracurriculars. Issaquah offers many AP, honors, and elective courses. While there are state course requirements, students are given a lot of freedom in choosing their courses. I really enjoyed the relaxed school culture in my time there. The school has a relaxed phone policy and dress code and the administration often involves teachers' feedback in their decision-making. The students themselves are very friendly and academically motivated. Most teachers are approachable and kind. Overall, I hope that the school takes back the strict bathroom policy it implemented this past year. The school itself is a little dirty and overcrowded. The school is large and there are so many people to meet and clubs & sports to get involved in. Overall I really loved my time there! I highly recommend the photography, material science, and woodshop courses offered at IHS!
Issaquah High School is a great campus with many course options and extracurricular activities like leadership opportunities, clubs, sports, etc. Oftentimes, the environment is welcoming, staff are understanding and eager to help any one of their students. Students in need are almost always accommodated for, whether it be financial or personal. On the contrary, sometimes there is still a cultural barrier between students and staff. Teachers on an individual basis are great and do their best to understand differences. However, when represented as a collective the general consensus is clouded and vague. Meaning that it seems like teachers are not as empathetic as they really are when referred to as a whole.
Issaquah High School offers a rigorous academic program with a variety of Advanced Placement (AP) courses, Honors courses, and Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. In addition to the core academic subjects, IHS also offers courses in world languages, fine arts, and physical education.
The school has a diverse student body, with students from various ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. The student-teacher ratio at Issaquah High School is 21:1, which is higher than the state average, but the school has a strong reputation for providing individualized attention to its students.
Overall, Issaquah High School is well-regarded for its academic rigor, diverse student body, strong athletics program, and wide range of extracurricular activities.
