International Community School
#2 Best Magnet High Schools in Seattle Area
Junior: ICS is definitely not for everyone, but if you are prepared to put in a LOT of time and effort into your schoolwork, it prepares you really well for college and beyond in terms of academics and time management. While you won’t get the sports, electives, or wide variety of classes of a normal high school, the community, clubs, and academics are outstanding. Most teachers are pretty good, and a few are excellent.
Side note: parents, please don’t force your kids to go to ICS if they hate it! I know lots of kids who are miserable, and they would be much happier and more successful at a regular high school. Then, someone else who really wants to be here could also get their spot.
