In my opinion, Issaquah high school is great. My sister attended that school. The reasons are:1. Average SAT score is around 1230. It's easy to achieve that score, but difficult for a whole school. It verifies that most students in this school focus on studying.2. The teachers are responsive. I sent several emails to the teachers to ask for the learning issue my sister was faced with., they responded me quickly.3. Because my sister joined the school at grade 11, I frequently checked her with she was bullied or met some difficulties when making friends. I never heard bad news about it, which verifies the students on that campus are friendly and educated. Of course, this benefits from the school education.4. Lots of after-school choices.5. Keep parents/guardians updated of all important announcements through emails.6. I checked the course materials, the quality is great, especially for educate students with independent thinking. I’m an immigrant, and finished my high school in other countries. Overall, Issaquah high school meets all my expectations for a US high school. We cannot expect the school to teach your children to become a geniuses or supermen/women, right? If you look for a worry-free high school education, Issaquah high school is a great choice.

This is an amazing school with a top-notch principal and administrative staff. The PTA is very strong and well-funded. My kids love their teachers and feel supported in their academic and social development.

As of 2023-2024, this school has been populated by a disproportionate number of mean and bullying students. I understand that tweens and teens press boundaries and can be mean, but this is next-level stuff in terms of the frequency and gravity of the behavior. This obviously affects the learning environment and students’ emotional well being. The staff can only do so much, and they provide meaningful back-end support for students who actively seek it. My impression is that the school could do more front-end work to create and reinforce a culture of kindness and mutual respect — but with these kids, who knows whether it would help. If we could take the other students out of the equation, we’re generally happy with the quality of teaching and the curriculum.
