We moved from Redmond to Renton Highlands and was surprised to see the difference with experienced teachers in the school to handle the kids. The staff understand your needs and are cooperative. I would wait to see how my kids doing overall in the school in coming years.

As a parent, I am appalled that this school likes to hype themselves up as a green school. There is so much laziness when they started using generative AI. My son took a picture of a poster that is still hanging from last month in March for women’s history month. It includes most all images of beautified historical figures. A certain sub in his literature class suggested using AI to help them with their work instead of reading. The jobs presentation by the counselor included slides regarding and including generative AI. We have had all three years of his schooling here with issues of bullying and kids talking about how other students should commit suicide, including and not limited to my son in particular. I have messaged Miss Frey multiple times regarding these issues and generally unless I go to the superintendent, nothing gets done. Not only do the staff members drive hazardously around the school and disregard post signage. It is unnerving that the amount of laziness and pretentiousness has gone unchecked for so long. This has been a frustrating three years. I am so glad to get my child out of King County where they feel that because they are in Washington they are safe and secure from doing anything worthwhile for their students or the families that pay their taxes in order to make this school what it is. The amount of blatant disregard that the students have for rudeness and racism is mind blowing. That is also an issue with the parents and I very much wish a big wake up call for all of them. This place is bound to have a major incident because they are only waiting until that happens to do anything, and it is very obvious that they would rather push off problematic students to the next school, then actually approach parents about the issues at home because I know for a fact that racism starts at home.

This school suspends students for crying quietly, and counselors provide no help, contradicting themselves and stop caring whenever someone is sad.
