My child has had a very good experience at this school! They have a fantastic music program and top-notch teachers. My child has met lots of great friends and has learned so much. They have advanced classes in math and language, and lots of involved parents also. The principal seems wonderful.

Nathan Hale High school is one of the most impeccable high schools in overall Seattle city. The best thing about this school are the teachers and the facilities. It’s diverse environment close to nature doesn’t give you the feel that you are actually living in the city. The school’s admission process is rigorous due to the competition ensuring only the best out of the best are admitted!

We have been so happy at this school! I've had two kids in the school so far and have found the teachers in particular to be phenomenal. They are able to hold space for kids to go through their emotions so they can approach learning from a calm, centered place. My two kids are very different, and they've both thrived and have been welcomed socially. I also credit the approach the school uses during the First Six Weeks where classrooms intentionally spend time together to thoughtfully come up with how the classroom should run and how everyone should treat one another. I think it creates a lot of buy-in and helps everyone do their best. I also love that students that spend a chunk of time in the special ed classrooms also come into the general education classrooms regularly to build relationships with all students and are included in birthday parties, etc. Plus the expeditions have been incredible!!! It is stunning to watch these kids legitimately become experts in something. Both of my daughters are far better birders than I've ever been, for a very easy example. And my daughter has been able to identify individual orcas in the pod they'd studied by sight while watching a documentary!Plus the looping classrooms!! Having the same teacher and same cohort from 2nd-3rd and then from 4th-5th takes the growth potential up about twelve notches.

Wedgwood is a fantastic school! SPS doesn't have the best reputation due to district-level chaos, but this school could not be better! Teachers are amazing, parents are engaged, the PTA provides a lot of financial and volunteer support. The principal has been there for many years now and really knows all of the kids and sets a positive tone for the school. Academics are challenging and there's support for kids who need extra support.
