They built this school by a gun range. You can hear gun shots all day long. What happens if there is shooting in the school? The school is built right next to the high school and an elementary school up the street. The traffic before and after school is horrific. Bad planning at best. There are many disruptive behaviors in the school. They are in classes disrupting learning. There are many unsafe behaviors happening. The teachers and administration seem to have their hands tied to give any consequences. I have heard this about many of the schools in the ISD so I'm guessing it comes from the superintendent and board. Some kids never go to class and just wander around. My child feels uncomfortable using the restroom. Students hang out in there all day. If you go in a stall they take pictures of your feet proving you are going number 2. Many of those are posted online. Students also vape in there. They need a sign in system to use the restroom. I would volunteer to do it. Many of the math teachers write their own tests. Why? You have to go in to see the tests. The test do not seem valid. Actually many of the teachers write their own tests. Now I really feel sorry for the math teachers. They do not have a math curriculum that meets the standards. Teachers have spoken at school board meetings letting them know they have to write their own curriculum. The property taxes in Issaquah are so high and there is not a math curriculum. How is this possible and even legal. There might be an outdated curriculum, but they do not use it. Many of the teachers seem to want to defeat students. There are some great ones, but less of those than awful ones. There are a few teachers that really care and are great teachers. They are the reason the school is tolerable.

IVE is one of the best elementary school in Issaquah school district. There are well experienced teachers and staffs. All students are given individual attention and specific attention based on their interest and needs. In additional, they run lots of programs year long with help of strong PTA. I am happy that my kids got opportunity to be part of this school.
