Because it is such a small school, especially in middle school everybody knows everyone because the in only 1 class per grade and the biggest class in middle school in 7th grade (20 people). That being said, if you don't like one person in your class you don't have them for just Math or something, no you see them all day every day. Most of the teachers are great (in middle school at least) I don't think that one person dislikes the Social Studies/Drama teacher or the ELA teacher and her Intern. The only people I have a problem with are the Math teacher and the Librarian, now I know because I put myself as a current student you will think I'm dramatic but NO! I'm not kidding when I say not one person out of all of middle school likes the math teacher and the Librarian, I mean it. But other than that, I have no complaints really about the school.

Both our kids have had great experiences at Daniel Bagley. Very supportive community and teachers including the principal. Would highly recommend this school. Looking forward to more success ahead!

I'd like to respond to some of the other reviews as an active student at Ingraham High School. Ingraham is one of the most academically sound and intense schools in the PSE as a result of their IB program. If the low AP enrollment scares you away then don't worry, it's because students are taking IB; which is significantly harder. Essentially all of the teachers are very well trained and have been working in their respective fields for many years. There are always some teachers you wont like but In my personal experience I've been very happy and formed a great connection with all of mine.To the other post saying "just do running start" don't be misguided. Running start is a great option for many students, but IB tends to prepare you a lot more for college readiness and looks a lot better on college applications. If you're trying to just get college credits and be able to drop a year or two of college then sure, do running start. But if you're trying to get into an academically rigorous and respected four year college, do IB. It's like comparing apples and oranges.They have all kinds of trade-school programs WITHIN the school, exceptional SEL opportunities and a full time social worker and many mental health staff, drug interventionists, therapists, and a fully anonymous doctor's clinic within the school for students. This is a place where I, and essentially ANY other student regardless of their academic incline will be taken care of for their future, whether it be in regards to job training, additional schooling, or securing post-highschool plans. I would strongly recommend sending your student to Ingraham for any student in the PSE area. Please, take my advice.TLDR; Ingraham is a very good school that spends a lot of time helping students with all kinds of things. 100% send your student there over any other SPS school.

This school is ok compared to others. But it's not great. Some teachers care about your wellbeing and support you, while others do not care about your needs or your wellbeing. If you have social anxiety, or fear of big crowds this school will be hard for you. The school lunches also lack basic needs. The homework often feels useless, and the teachers lack to find roots of problems and take care of them properly. The school neglects some things.
