Research Lake Washington High School Public Schools in Mountlake Terrace, Washington

“This school has its qualities but I have serious misgivings about the principal Brad Malloy who seems to worry more about being buddies with the football team than running a school. For the neighborhood, the academic standards should be much higher. (See Bellevue, ICS)”

“I graduated with the class of 2005, I could say that it seems due to a recent visit, that the quality of the school has dramatically gone down. I know for a fact that with my graduating class, majority of the dedicated and quality teachers left only to be replaced with incompetent teachers. This school does not prepare you well for college. This school needs to set it's priorities straight, as education should be the number one priority over other things. This school is highly unmotivated and has no leadership. The educational standards in this school are not very high. Do not go to this school if you want a good education, maybe if you want a sports career or something. There are other better schools out there such as Bellevue or Newport High School.”

“This school has great potential but has no leadership. There are some good teachers, but quite a bit if deadwood too. The math department is absolutely horrible. The prinicipal is extremely weak and will not deal with poor teachers. Good leadership could make this a great school. My kids are all college bound, but this school was not helpful. The elementary school (Peter Kirk) and Junior High (KJH) were great.”

“School is great, but the kids moral and participation are low. We need to work on that”

“I am a junior and i feel very welcome in this establishment but it is not a perfect school. A perfect school is as hard to find as the perfect __(insert something here)___.”

“Alot of the teachers are below average. The schools government system doesn't work. They go ou of thier way not to do thier job. The teachers don't trust the students, so nothing gets done. The teaching is below average, and the leadership in teachers to students is nonexistant. Alot of bad techers, can't choose classes or change teachers, even if they are incompetant. Alot of the classes are jokes. If you do well here, you will probably not do well in college.”

“good teachers. nice kids most of all. good curriculum. teachers are friendly.”

“I have been a student at Lake Washington High School for several years now. I beleive that it is an overall good school. The academic program is highly branched and the extra-curriculars are varied and well organized. In general, the PTSA in not that involved in school since it is run mostly by the school administration with some imput from the ASB officers.”

“Lake Washington is a great school. The math and science departments are very strong as well as the arts. The administration does a good job with student discpline.”

“Wonderful school my daughter really loved it.”
