We have two kids who both started as 9th graders coming from outside middle schools. One has graduated and is in college; the other is still enrolled. The graduate got into every school she applied to and had more good options than was easy to sort through.Both are science-focused with artistic side
Posted by a parent on 6/19/2026The Northwest School has been fabulous for my kids -- I have found the high school to be rigorous enough for my advanced science/math student while offering an interdisciplinary approach across all subjects. He has used math in art classes and critical thinking skills of humanities in his science cl

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur child had a bully one year and we were told by the principal once or twice incidents is not considered bullying. Our child expressed several times they didnt feel safe in the school and the principal and assistant principal did nothing and were very dismissing. The principal and staff admit and acknowledge safety failures but do nothing to address or communicate. They don't collaborate or listen but will tell you they are but provide no evidence to support any statement. My only advice is make sure you follow up in writing and get everything in writing. They will try and push you to in person and verbal only with any situation then drag everything along to not commit to what was spoken about. They avoid accountability at all costs and everything to put in the kid and anything but them. LISTEN TO YOUR KIDS when it comes to this school because the leadership in this school is toxic and it is trickling down into the teachers and staff. Several of us have had to pull our kids out of this school which is a shame due to all the connected resources at that school.Parent Review9mo ago - Hutch School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHAVE YOU HEARD about the Classical Education renaissance! Kids ruminating on 'self' and getting caught up in politics is harmful and hard to get away from in schools these days. SCCS develops thinkers engaged in vigorous and joyous conversation among peers and their non activist teachers. Mastery is cultivated by adults that model respect for boundaries, love of family and importance of parents. Our children enjoy fieldtrips and healthy competitiveness of the SCCS House System. Students observe, try and make mistakes and are driven by the reward that comes from working hard as they develop trust, self-control and the skills to persevere. Great books are read, music is sung, debate is encouraged, art is made, history is valued, science is explored, movement is mandatory, cursive is flowing, math is mastered, theater is performed, service is celebrated and paper and pencil are used. THIS is how children grow up to be productive adults with a confident dose of self awareness.Parent Review1y ago - Seattle Classical Christian School
