Lake Washington High School Reviews
Rating 3.71 out of 5 213 reviews
My experience at Lake Washington High School has been exceptional, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Washington State. The school's commitment to academic excellence is evident through its rigorous curriculum, while its diverse and inclusive environment fosters a sense of belonging and celebrates cultural diversity. However, opportunities for improvement include expanding extracurricular activities to cater to a wider range of interests and fostering stronger communication between students, faculty, and administration. By addressing these areas, Lake Washington High can continue to uphold its reputation for excellence and ensure that every student feels supported and empowered to succeed.
Lake Washington High School was a fantastic school which offered a variety of high-level courses such as College English courses and plenty of AP classes. The Atmosphere is good, the building is always getting bigger with better facilities and the people are nice as well. Parking is a bit of a nightmare, but other than that it is central to town and has great sports teams. Overall it is a great school and I would highly recommend it to middle schoolers that are looking to go into high school in Washington.
Overall, I love the community's throughout out high school since there a great range of interests within our community. Our school offers many opportunities to all students and other resources involving academics. We have a fair range of sports, clubs and activities. We have a lot of staff for different things students might need. Overall I think i've had a great time and there isn't much I'd change about the environment. I've never noticed more friendly outgoing teachers and administrators. I think we could have more improving on more organized events and understanding of everyone. We should be more open to our students opinions overall at our campus no matter what. I think we need to change the class structures and how the scheduled is put in place out to the students.
