Short version: The school is great. Above average in many things. Teachers are all really nice, the classroom is conducive to learning, the subjects are all mildly interesting at worst. I don’t have many complaints, other than maybe the cafeteria food, but thats what you get at a public high school,
Posted by a student on 11/15/2024One of the best schools in Washington State.
Posted by a community member on 3/12/2020Our son completed his sophomore year here. The Band program was outstanding. While we did run into cliquish/bullying issues in the younger schools (Drum Intermediate), we didn't see any issues with our high school son who is a little socially awkward. Academics seem rigorous and athletics are smooth
Posted by a parent on 6/19/2018Investment by the city. The teachers and curriculum are above national standards. My child has been in the district from kindergarten and I highly recommend the district.
Posted by a community member on 3/16/2016As I read the reviews of Curtis High School and the overall University Place school district, I couldn't help but seek out the rating of Bellevue which seems to be the UP equivalent. I wasn't surprised to see them ranked a 7 - only a point higher. Scanning the reviews, same statements made by upset

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a fantastic school! The school is lead with kindness and respect, and it shows in all aspects! The entire staff, from the office to the pick up/drop off staff to teachers and librarians, everyone is warm and welcoming, and encouraging to all the students. They tell them how glad they are to have them there today. They encourage the students, kindness and respect! The PTA is very active, organizing amazing inclusive events. The community engagement is second to none. Evergreen truly does build a community around their school. From parents, to teachers and administrators. We are so glad our little one attends the school!Parent Review1y ago - Sunset Primary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt is our experience with this school that they will toss out any neurodivergent learner they have in their care. The leadership at the school is cold and uncaring, and it shows in entire staff. The entire time our little one attended this school, it felt as though they were looking for ways to get our little out of there as fast as possible. The office staff is rude and impatient, the teachers are overwhelmed, disorganized and have little support. The administrators are more concerned with their image than the actual students attending the school. This is the the highest rated and highest funded elementary school in the entire district. But, I question if it is only this way because they remove any special needs or neurodivergent learners from their school. The worst part is the district supports and encourages it!! After speaking with several other parents in the district, it seems that our experience is the norm. All the funding that goes to the school should be shared with the other elementary schools in the district that actually support learners of all capabilities! The school is nothing but a show, and a poor one at that.Parent Review1y ago - St Charles Borromeo School
