My child has been attending this school for two years and we have loved every minute. The teachers are incredible and the rest of the staff are amazingly supportive. It truly feels like we are a part of the Tillicum family. My daughter loves the school and wakes up happy to go every morning. The lunch and breakfast program is phenomenal and all the community events they have been doing such as movie nights and STEM night have been a fun way to get out of the house and spend time together without spending money. I feel like any concerns my family may have are addressed immediately. Everyone I know constantly complains about their childrens' schools but I love ours. I'll do everything I can to ensure my daughter can continue attending school at Tillicum.

I have been attending this school since my sophomore year, and honestly this is the worst school I had ever went to. I wanted to give it a below average due to the hardworking teachers, but I feel like that will not help anyone who is looking for an honest review. During testing days, whoever was in charge of testing told me that I had to take an Algebra I test despite taking one and passing it in my other school. The math classes are a wreck just like any other American public school. For an assignment, my other classmates and I went to a class where there were a bunch of foreign students who spoke little English. I only saw one teacher teaching the class of students who came from different parts of the world. I am not sure how effective their teaching was. The new school nurse knows nothing about privacy. I was in a rush and my stomach was in pain, so I asked the nurse is I could use the bathroom. I could not and she asked if I pooped right in front of two students. The guidance councilor said I was missing a class during my 2nd semester Freshman year. I was then put into another history class.

I went to this school 2011-2013. It's by far the only school I really wish I could've gone back too. Wish it was still around.

We were excited our daughter made it into this school as her teachers had recommended it for her. Shortly after her first month she said she was 'gender fluid'. When asked what that meant she simply replied that what she had been told by her teachers. I think we have more pressing issues in our schools then teacher telling our children such things. Can we not just let them be children??
