• 6-12
• Rating 3.77 out of 5  137 reviews

Junior: This school truly prepares its students for the coming hardships called college. I have been attending CDA Charter since 6th grade, and, although it challenges the students every step of the way, the rewards of having a great education and building leadership abilities make the difficult journey worth it! I would highly recommend this school for high schoolers who are planning to attend college, and for any middle schoolers who want to get a jump on their education early.

Northwood Middle School

• Mead School District, WA
• 6-8
• Rating 4.25 out of 5  4 reviews

Middle School Student: I liked Northwood a lot. There are some amazing teachers there that made me actually like and/or care about some subjects. I loved 7th grade at Northwood. Also, if you have the chance to do Leadership in 8th grade DO IT. It's the best thing that ever happened to me. I grew so close with the kids in that class and I learned a lot about improving myself, being kinder, and being a good leader. You also learn a lot about time management from all the assemblies we have to plan. My Leadership teacher was amazing, and I couldn't imagine what 8th grade would be like without Leadership.

Mountainside Middle School

• Mead School District, WA
• 7-8
• Rating 2.5 out of 5  2 reviews

Senior: Mountainside Middle School was a great school in my experience, regarding the quality of the teachers and the educational opportunities. My favorite teachers came out of this school, and I feel that they were all very involved. They had many different pathways that were represented in electives, such as engineering/robotics, art, and social sciences. My main complaints with the school involve other members of faculty. Dress codes were a MAJOR focus, and many young girls would be forced to change into PE clothes and miss portions of class for wearing yoga pants, shorts that were shorter than a 5 inch inseam, or having a shirt that showed bra straps. There were many other strict rules at the school, so there were many faculty members patrolling to maintain those rules.

Sacajawea Middle School

• Spokane School District, WA
• 7-8
• Rating 2.33 out of 5  6 reviews

Parent: Most of the teachers I have met have been teaching at the school for more than 10 years. They are committed, passionate and do a wonderful job with what can be a challenging age to teach. I don't think there is a better middle school in Spokane. They also offer many after school activities and a wide array of classes including STEM. Kids are able to take high school level math classes and get high school credit.

North Idaho STEM Charter Academy

• Public School
• RATHDRUM, ID
• K-12
• Rating 4.55 out of 5  11 reviews

Freshman: I think North Idaho STEM Charter Academy (NISCA) is an amazing school! They specialize in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. I currently want to major in some type of science when I get to college, which is why NISCA is extremely beneficial to me and my future. The teachers are very helpful and since it is a smaller school, there is more one-on-one time with the teachers for extra help.

• Rating 2.5 out of 5  4 reviews

Senior: Overall I loved my experience are Chase. I was able to learn and find myself, specifically in a musical sense. A variety of social opportunities were available, allowing me to step outside my comfort zone. I’d like to see a greater push towards sports. There were limited sport options and very little information available for those who were interested.
