Bellevue High School Reviews
Rating 3.94 out of 5 218 reviews
The Bellevue school district is credited to be one of the best in the country, and I believe the district is given due credit. The teaching staff and counselors are very open with their schedule to any questions or advice asked in regards to school life and beyond. The school holds a high standard for recommended course load, which has helped immensely with transferring credits for required college credits. The only thing I wished they did more, was emphasize exactly how much money could have been saved by taking as many college level courses and AP exams would have helped with finances regarding college tuition, as I believe I would have pushed myself harder to take more of those mentioned classes.
Bellevue High School has been a great place to meet friends and learn. We have excellent extra curricular activities like football, band, theatre, etc. the building is nice and new and parking is adequate. I would like to see more rigor in weeding out the ineffective teachers. Too many times we just watched a movie or did essentially nothing in class. I would have liked more challenging discussions where we debate ideas and are forced to think critically.
It has been kind of meh. It is a good school for academics, but the school culture tends to leave things to be desired in addition to how the school handles problems it encounters.
