10th Street School

This school has excellent teaches, clubs, acedemics, and even students. Our acedemics are challenging but our teachers are always there to help out. I am very thankful to all of my teachers and peers for making my learning experience at 10th street a great experience. We have an amazing variety of after school clubs that each student has an opportunity to join, from Jazz Band, to a club where you can make your own band (The Other Club), dj club, and game club. This school has figures of authorit all around, which comes in handy when violence breaks out, so we have a safer learning community. We also get many opportunities to go on camping trips and fieldtrips unlike any other school. And the best thing for parents is, if they want to come and help out they can do so whenever they want, parents are always involved in their child's learning. I am glad I got into a school of such quality. I hope you enjoy this school as much as I do.

I love this school! We are always ahead of everyone. We do 9th grade math in 8th grade, 8th grade math in 7th grade, ect. Then in science we are ahead of everyone doing more work and harder stuff. Our teachers always listen and everyone does there best. We also have lots of before and after school activities such as game club, jazz band, dj club, guitar club, leadership club, and our teachers are free to help you when ever. Safety wise, this schools is the best! I hear that at other schools theres fights like every day. At Tenth street, there may be at most 3 fights a year. Usaully there is none. Our parents do most of the stuff at our school, without them our school couldnt operate right. They take pics, set up stuff, chaperone, and more. Well thats all i have to share. Bye :)

I'm a almost seventh grader at tenth street and in just my sixth grade year at tenth street I really liked it! I think that all of the teachers were great and all of the classes were fun. I can't wait to go to Camp David and Fort Warden this year and hopefully Camp Delaney next year. If my family doesn't move before than, I hope that my younger brother and sister are able to make it into tenth street as well. Tenth street has lots of fun things to do, such as C of C, Friday store, taste of the world, Radioactive river, the concerts, all the games in math, some of the science experiments, and drawing our self-portraits. I hope that many other people will be able to have the same experiences that I had. Thx- Alethea D. Cody

I remember waiting in line one Jan. morning for about an hour and a half before sunrise, outside of 10th St for open enrollment. This because of word of mouth and before the lottery process. My son would have been a dust spect on the wall of the other middle schools. Instead he got a sense of community and gained in depth studies in areas of particular interest to him in each class. Kids learn alot about particular aspects of a subject then they share with others. Many group projects and field trips, some the entire school goes and others grade specific. I went hiking in the Hoh rain forest one year with my daughter's class. Best of all the band and occasional 8th grade dance number. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves Moms and Dads, you'll be amazed how good they do in H.S.

A very organic, teacher involved school that prepares students for high school and beyond. Successful due to small population, parental involvement and dedication of staff. Supplement book learning with either fun projects, or sleep over field trips. Met the principle once in 2 years, really teacher driven. If you are looking for your child to be challenged and you are willing to put in the work of volunteering then your child will be better off because of that choice. Remember every student plays an instrument also.

This school has provided a well rounded education for my child. I appreciate the way learning is accomplished by project orriented work. The childern are held accountable for their homework and are challenged by presenting back what they have learned. The small school environment allows for teachers to know kids strengths and weaknesses. Other educational opportunities in the district pale in comparison to this schools level of education.
