Tesla STEM High School

• Lake Washington School District, WA

Alum: I loved the school and the opportunities it brought me! I learned a lot about STEM subjects, and the teachers that I had were very well trained in their topics. I made lots of great connections and memories, got to try out internships, had amazing experiences, and met really cool people. It was academically challenging at times but in the end the whole 4 years was very rewarding. I would highly recommend the school to anyone who wants to go in to the STEM work field as you'll be very prepared for STEM related jobs.

International Community School

• Lake Washington School District, WA
• 6-12
• 76

Junior: I love my school because of all the supportive teachers that take their time to help you with anything you need and they genuinely care about getting to know each student individually. Also, I love being a part of a big community where I know everyone and everyone knows me. Being apart of the community is a big part of the school, the upperclassmen work together to help the underclassmen succeed in school by helping them deal with academic and personal issues they might be facing. Although the school has a very rigorous curriculum set up to push students continuously, students end up having an easier time in college after high school.

Redmond High School

• Lake Washington School District, WA
• 9-12
• 367

Alum: The strong suit of Redmond is their faculty. For the most part, their faculty was amazing. The teachers really care about and push their students, thus preparing them very well for college. The one department seriously lacking is their English department. Many of the teachers are not only incapable of providing feedback on subjectively graded assignments, but are also rude and disrespectful. In contrast, the science department is AMAZING. All teachers are highly capable and effective at teaching.

Eastlake High School

• Lake Washington School District, WA
• 9-12
• 413

Alum: I absolutely loved attending at EHS. EHS has an atmosphere unlike any other school you will find. The teachers and students value and practice a tight family environment where everyone can feel safe to fail as well as to be successful! The school has a wonderful leadership program that works tirelessly to bring the students together through epic spirit weeks, assemblies, and an incoming student program. The academics are competitive and offer a plethora of different, interesting, and challenging classes. There are multiple opportunities to take AP classes for college credit as well as multiple fun electives. The sports program also has incredible coaches and high values. I ran XC and Track and felt immediately that I had found a family away from home. The athletes worked incredibly hard and I always knew that the coaches cared about my progress as well as my physical and mental wellbeing. Overall, Eastlake was a blast to attend.

Evergreen Middle School

• Lake Washington School District, WA

Alum: Evergreen Middle School, in my experience, was a pretty amazing school. During my three years at Evergreen, I participated in the Quest program along with numerous sports and clubs such as leadership. The teachers were amazingly nice, when I asked for recommendations or outside help, they were willing to schedule in-person meetings outside of school, or even phone calls. The sports were really inclusive, because while I cannot run whatsoever, they still made me feel like a part of the team. The clubs are fun, interactive and educational. Math club included many competitions, (which we did fantastically at), multicultural club a diverse blend of insight into different cultures and ASB gave me a genuine desire to help increase school spirit.

Middle School Student: Everything is pretty good until you look at the bus system. Multiple buses dont have enough space for those who use it and lots of people end up sitting on the ground which is a safety hazard. The culture is fantastic, with a decent amount of diversity. The education is excellent
