I am a current senior at Interlake in the class of 2009. While I think that Interlake has an amazing teaching staff, and the teacher reall want to get to know their students, there are a lot of reviews on here by new freshmen or old students, so i thought i would a current 4 yr students imput. A lot of these reviews are buttering up the school and only telling one side. While the teachers are great and we are the only IB school in Bellevue, and probably one of the best public HS in Washington, there is a lot of pressure put on students to take IB and AP course. However, the school is overall very good. The teachers really love what they do, and the counsolers are absolutly the best EVER, I can definately say I will miss IHS! It is an amazing school, very few cliches.

I am currently a freshman at Interlake High School, and I can genuinely say I AM IN LOVE WITH MY SCHOOL. The teachers here are so fantastic! They really do help you when you need it. You can also really 'click' with them if you let them, they're not only your teachers they're like your friends. I live in Renton and wake up at 5 AM to go to school and I am always up and ready to go because the teachers really do make learning fun. I get really mad at the snow days because I seriously love Interlake. The students here are amazing and nice. They are so full of school spirit, it is astounding.

I noticed that there were a couple of discouraging reviews, so I wanted to counter them: I am a current student of Interlake, class of 2010. Interlake was fully completed my freshman year and is completely mordern and state-of-the-art. Our technology, horticulture, music, language, and AP/IB programs are healthy, interesting, and well-taught. Teachers are, for the most part, very intent on their students succeeding and provide entertaining and productive curriculums. Because we are a small school, our sports teams do struggle--although girls softball, volleyball, and badminton do very well B)--but /because/ we are a small school, we have a relatively tight and family-like community without many cliques or tension. Interlake is a fantastic high school that I have very much enjoyed studying at, these past two years, and I feel assured that the next two--my IB years--will be just as interesting, if more challenging, as the first two.
