1 Best Public High School Teachers in Washington
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.

2 Best Public High School Teachers in Washington
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.

3 Best Public High School Teachers in Washington
Senior: After four years here, this will be one of the most memorable parts of my life. I have made great friends, great adversaries, and a long list of very knowledgeable contacts. Just about every teacher here is very passionate about what they teach and are happy to help with school work, help outside of school, or to just genuinely have a conversation with. I consider myself to have accomplished many important things at this school, with the help of its amazing staff and other parent/faculty support. They have set me up to be the best I can be in my future!

Parent: My children both graduated from AWS, and I am compelled to write this review because they are so wonderfully prepared for college. Thank you Annie Wright! The care and professionalism demonstrated by the teachers is amazing. My kids are not only academically prepared, they know how to advocate for themselves, and build relationships with their professors at college. They have started the boys school now I hear, and although I had some reservations initially, I do agree that this extraordinary IB education should be available to all kids in the South Sound. This school is making a difference in the lives of kids, families and helping the development of the region.

4 Best Public High School Teachers in Washington
Niche User: Raisbeck Aviation High School (RAHS) is the best high school in the state by far, and one of the best in the nation. Unlike any other school in the nation, RAHS was built and is primarily funded by Alaska Airlines, Boeing, and the Museum of Flight. Having such close ties to top performing companies in their respected industries creates truly unique opportunities. Representatives from Purdue and Embry Riddle aeronautical universities gave presentations in one of my classes. Embry Riddle offered RAHS students the unique opportunity of a completely funded tour of their school. Purdue even sent the head of their school of aeronautics and astronautics. As far as internships go, I recall multiple students landing internships with renown Blue Origin and NASA. While I could continue forever, the highlights of my review are RAHS is arguably one of the top fifty high schools in the country given its extremely unique opportunities, unbeatable staff, and strongly bonded student body.

7 Best Public High School Teachers in Washington
Alum: Without a doubt, I do not regret attending this school (even if it was a VERY long 4-year experience) as I got to meet a lot of new and friendly people. Because the school holds under 700 students within its campus grounds you get to learn a lot about all walks of life and diverse cultures in a productive manner. Everyone knows almost everyone there and it's a guarantee that you will not go one day without someone making you smile.

For the most part, the teachers and staff members do truly care for their students as many of them themselves have an impressive track record of education and many past and current students praising them for their passion to strive for learning every single day. Through my 4 years of being a student at HeLa from the first day of freshman year to my last as a graduating senior, I had a good handful of teachers who have helped shape me into the person I am (as cliche as it sounds it's true).

Overall great school and environment.

8 Best Public High School Teachers in Washington
Senior: Colfax high school has amazing educational opportunities. The school offers many college classes which meet the expectations as if you were taking it at a university. The teachers are excellent and want nothing more than to set their students up for success. The athletic programs offered at Colfax are phenomenal.Our coaching staff is well known for pushing their athletes to be the best they can be. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in any or all of the clubs and activities. There is something for everyone. However, Colfax's small community results in a lack of diversity and culture. The school district could begin educating students about different cultures so that they could easily adapt to change after graduation. Overall, Colfax High School opens a world of opportunities for students and everyone should look into enrolling. It has a wonderful education program and receives tons of support from the small community.

9 Best Public High School Teachers in Washington
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.

10 Best Public High School Teachers in Washington
Senior: Woodinville High School is part of a very nice suburban community. Most teachers are outstanding! A lot of focus on Academics and Athletics. Not a lot of diversity (mostly white population) There is some drug use in students but it is high school. Very spirited and the motto of "one falcon, one family" which is pretty accurate. You build a lot of good relationships with your peers as well as your teachers. Administration is decent, a lot of problems with office staff. Strict parking rules.

Senior: One thing that everyone will tell you about IHS is the amazing spirit we have. Our stands are always packed full of spirited students in yellow and purple at every home game. We have pep rally's on home football games with our awesome band and dancing contests for prizes! We have a lot of diverse clubs you could join, and if you do not find one that interests you it's easy to form your own! Our academics are top-notch as the teachers always make time to meet one-on-one if you need to. There are so many resources at IHS, including the Counseling Center and College and Career Office. Issaquah High School is such an amazing high school to go to, and helps you prepare for your next step after graduation.

13 Best Public High School Teachers in Washington
Senior: This school is great. Teachers are very smart and easy to talk to. They all care about you gaining knowledge and about your life beyond high school. I have created some really great relationships with my teachers that helped me to get through high school. Classes are a regular size about 25-30 students I’d say. Every student gets enough attention from the teacher. The environment is very friendly in general and most of the people there are great and easy to talk to. The campus is pretty big too. They have a main basketball court and another gym downstairs that is split in two, so technically three inside gyms. They also have a huge football field, soccer field, baseball field and tennis courts. They have a pool too but it’s not a school property but is right by the school parking lot. The cafeteria food is the only thing that I would change about that school. But overall it’s a great school and very practical.

Sophomore: Overall, my experience at Ballard has been great. The performing arts program is quite nice, and is inclusive of all members. The school spirit is amazing! Each assembly and event has you exhilarated and proud to be a Ballard student. While I do love Ballard, it absolutely has room for improvement. The administration really tend to hesitate when dealing with problematic teachers and students, and it would be much more efficient if the staff put more energy towards being prompt when it comes to dealing with issues throughout the school. Other than the lack of action that sometimes occurs with complaints, Ballard is a wonderful institution who is constantly working on improving themselves through monthly developmental meetings of department heads and I hope to see improvement that students want to see rather than exclusively district mandated improvements.

Freshman: I just completed my freshman year at Interlake and I absolutely loved it. Although Interlake is known as the "IB school" and is considered academically focused, we still have super fun clubs and athletics. The teachers there are amazing. They seem to really care about you and your challenges in high school and are SUPER friendly. AP exams are pretty big in our school. To prepare for these exams, some teachers host review sessions on weekend at school in order to prepare you more for the exams. Yeah, so teachers are great! The administration can be kind of rude once in a while, but most of the time they help you with whatever. All in all, Interlake is a fantastic school with a great, supportive community.

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.

20 Best Public High School Teachers in Washington
Senior: Squalicum High School has been an amazing and inspiring experience for me, that I might not have gotten otherwise if I had attended another school within the Bellingham District. The staff is always ready to lend a helping hand as well as the student body. We pride ourselves as scholarly, prospectively and athletically diverse; valuing student involvement, opinion and education. As a student, I believe that with these aforementioned qualities, I am valued; which in turn, created me to become a determined, motivated and open-minded person. Although, there may be a few downsides to the school, such as the lack of funding dispersed throughout,[including the district] we can always somehow find a way to get a project done if need be. Squalicum has provided me with a competitive, caring environment for me to learn and grow in; teaching me the value of community involvement, progress, success and struggle- that I will be able to apply to the world. And, hopefully change the world.

Alum: Inglemoor High School is a college prep school as it has the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme as well as the Advances Placement program. Throughout my high school career, I learned many life lessons and those of which would not have been possible without the amazing teachers I was provided with. Inglemoor High School also supported a program called running start where students would be able to enroll at nearby community colleges and take prerequisite courses aligning with the high school's courses. The opportunity of enrolling in community college courses during my senior year of high school helped me to become prepared and understand the rigor and expectations required in college.

23 Best Public High School Teachers in Washington
Senior: Spokane Valley High School is a small, project based learning school. This means that we get to have more field trips and hands on learning, but that also means we sacrifice some of the givens of larger high schools. We don't have enough students or teachers to make AP or Honors classes worthwhile, and the same goes for sports and clubs. We are living under the wing of West Valley High School, however, so if clubs and sports interest you you're always welcome to go there after school. With that being said, we are very involved in our community and participate in events like Valley Fest. We are almost constantly involved in some sort of community service, and what you learn in class is always applicable to everyday life. The small school setting (we have just over 100 kids) allows for strong bonds between students and plenty of one-on-one time with the teachers so you can ensure you are getting a quality education. I love it!

Junior: Anacortes High School is a small school in a small town. The teachers and classes are all fun and there are quite a few advanced classes as well as a few classes geared to help slower students. The students are not very diverse- pretty much everyone is white, and there are a lot of rich kids. However, the school doesn't have that many cliques, in fact pretty much everyone is involved in multiple activities and friend groups. For the most part it is actually a very liberal mentality and everyone is pretty nice and accepting. Good special needs program and club scene.

Junior: Our school offers a variety of challenging programs: AP classes, Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), STEM classes, and etc. As one of two schools in the Washington state who offers the prestigious and rigorous Cambridge program, this school tailors those who are looking to pursue academic excellence and to push their own limits. Every student, regardless of academic ability, is given an equal opportunity to take courses that prepares them for higher education in college and university.
The student body openly includes everyone regardless of academic background. For example, you will see people from the Cambridge program on our school's soccer team along with other students taking 'normal' courses from the school. I find the diversity and inclusivity in the student body very representative of our culture and our inclusiveness towards different minorities and backgrounds.

Alum: Overall, I had a great high school career here! It was everything I could hope for in a high school - the teachers are fantastic, and everyone is really kind, even across social barriers (such as jocks and band geeks). They also are famous for their great treatment of handicapped students - they often got to be homecoming royalty, and were treated very kindly by all types of people there.

My only complaint is that as a co-founder of the marching band, the school tends to not give much attention or money to the music program despite its outstanding record and awards won every year. Even when students got to travel the world based on musical achievement or the band went to state championships in multiple areas, there were no announcements unless we pushed the administration.

Parent: Evergreen was our top choice for my daughter who started there 5 years ago. We love watching her grow there and seeing how the school has been able to preserve what makes her unique while teaching her to also be a contributing member of society. My son started there 2 years ago and while he is a completely different personality, is also thriving and loves Evergreen. He wakes up each day with such excitement and joy. This really speaks to the school's ability to differentiate and really meet the needs of EVERY child.
