Since Raisbeck Aviation High School is a lottery school, the community is diverse. It was fun getting to know people coming from different backgrounds who share similar passions as me. The school is very inclusive and the staff are always helpful. This school is great if you’re into STEM and even better if you’re into aviation because the school offers many clubs that will let you explore your interests. In addition to clubs, the school has a mentor program where you can connect with an industry professional and get your hands on opportunities and knowledge you might not have found elsewhere. I believe that the school helps students become college ready because of the course requirements and teachers pushing students to reach their potential. A downside is that the school only has ultimate frisbee for sports and no music/art specific courses. The school expects its students to fulfill hours in physical activity and music outside of school on their own time which may be inconvenient.
My overall experience at Raisbeck Aviation High School was good. I liked that since it wasn't like a lot of other schools I had a unique experience, such as playing sports for another school and such. Education was good but it is more specifically beneficial for those that want to go into the STEM field, specifically aviation (thus the name of the school). The school has a lot of opportunities and connections for anybody interested in the STEM field. Regarding social life at RAHS, it was okay. It wasn't that diverse during my time there as they were recently changing to the lottery system. Because the school was not as diverse, there were some minor race issues that happened and the school often didn't care much to do something about it. Rather, they relied on certain student bodies to do something about it. The school has its ups and downs just like every other school but my experience here was really good, I would gladly choose this school again if I was a freshman again.
I have really enjoyed my experience at Raisbeck Aviation High School. For one, it has all of the amazing benefits of a small school - teachers are attentive, caring, and are flexible to meet your needs as a student. If you are struggling in a class they make sure to go out of their way to help and assist you. The school is the #3 high school in Washington State and #2 in STEM high schools in the state. There is a huge emphasis on STEM, and as the name suggests, on aviation as well (though it should be noted that the school is a great opportunity even for those who aren't hugely interested in aviation and aerospace). Clubs like First Robotics, Science Olympiad, Solar Car, and International Space Settlement Design Challenge perform expertly at competitions, consistently going to state and even internationals. The most impressive aspect of the school is it's career preparedness programs - networking as a high schooler is so incredibly useful.
