You either excel in sports and become every teacher's favorite, or you become outcasted and start smoking. Basically, those are the two options. Thank God for Running Start.

Concrete School's lack positive academics for the kids, and needs more quality teachers. The principal at the H.S. is very active in all the kids' lives which is great to know. It's a shame that however after kids graduate from the H.S. here tho, kids must take other classes at the college in order to be successful in the real world.

Concrete High School is a tight knit community of children who have spent all thirteen years of school together. This works well for building bonds and relationships, but the school is lacking in other areas. The academic programs are greatly limited. Only one foreign language is available, and challenging work is difficult to find in the courses offered. The music program has suffered large cutbacks and is working hard to keep it together. On the more positive side Concrete again meets the after-curricular needs. Sports are available, and usually well funded. Parents are involved, and the students rally around the sports teams. Overall Concrete is not what it should be academically, but holds a social atmosphere that is not available at a large school.

Concrete High's teachers are mostly all great ,Mrs. Schnider is excellent goes way past her duties to help students as does Mr. Krause . The Principal on other hand does not like dealing with children that have a problem and advises them to quit school to get a G.E.D. The Office staff are all real nice people also. So if they got a new principal school would be totally excellent.

Concrete Highschool probably isnt the best school to be learning at, but that's probably because it's very small. It doesnt even have 200 students in the school, but that only means that everyone here is very close to one another, we all know eachother and are pretty good friends with everyone. The people here are great, the teachers are pretty fun too. I have to admit that our wrestling team is pretty good! We took 8th in state! Not to bad if you ask me! Congrats wrestlers!

I think Concrete High School is a great school. Every body gets to participate in every sport.There aren't very many class choices but its still fun.The teachers are pretty cool too, they help if you don't understand and keep helping you until you do.Oh yah the wrestling team is pretty awesome too.

Concrete highschool is a ok school to go to. The class choice is very limited because its such a small school. But the teachers are good and the wrestling team rocks.

The EOC tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
