Lake Washington High School

Posted May 15, 2009

I struggled with some personal issues in 10th grade and the school was awesome at helping me out with that. I was able to take the time i needed to get my life back together. Upon returning to school i relized what I was missing all along. That motivation is key in doing well in school. Sadly I found this motivation from only a few teachers most all of it (motivation) had to come from myself. That would be my biggest problem, the teachers, good or bad, are not always more than just individuals that seem to have a base of information but not always the means to get that information to us. That is not to say there are not awesome teachers at this school. Some the the most helpful people in my life are teachers as LW.

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.
