Woodinville High School

Drugs are a huge problem here. The teachers are uninterested in students learning and parents arent very involved. A terrible school

Some of the teachers are truly inspiring; others are just coasting to retirement and waiting for their pensions to kick in. School administration is just adequate but not visionary or creative. Teachers have way too much autonomy and no oversight from administration. Inglemoor HS is far better.

It's an average school, but the teachers there are really bad. They make it hard to succeed and even make fun of some students and they think the're funny, when they just make themselves look bad. Every teacher is very different from the next, they follow their own rules, and talk about what they want.

This school wasn't the best. The strict rules have gotten out of control by banning lunch outside, and soon the seniors probably won't be able to go off campus for lunch anymore. I've heard about fights occuring, drug use in the little hidden pathway across from the portables, sometimes even sex and other horrible things happen. I guess that is probably every high school though. But this school is just not good personally. All the amazing teachers have retired, now we have horrible new teachers whole only prepare you for the next test, not actually teach you something to use in life. The Learning Center is bad as well. They give you these packets about your "disability" and it just makes you feel AWFUL about yourself! I am leaving this school because of the bad new teachers, the stupid new rules that are now making it into a prison.

My child attended this school and her grades dramatically went up. Her peers were accepting and her teachers were very involved interacting with us when we emailed. We were able to access her grades and help her stay on track. I am very glad our youngest will be going there as well.

The level of support seems to be quite good overall, but I would like to see a bit more communication in regard to the website information available to parents. I don't know which teachers are able to post the grades online. Otherwise, it seems to be well run, with good involvement from the teachers and administration.

Great school, plenty of academic, athletic, and positive club options. Students and staff work together to make this school what it is.

Good academic and AP programs. Highly rated athletic programs. Principal reacts defensively when approached by parents with curriculum/ teacher concerns.

Great school with a rough exterior. The facilities are very odd and don't add to the learning experience at all. However, the teachers and staff were for the most part, good to the students and parents. They allowed for great parental involvement - which is not always the case at every school.

My daughter attended woodinville High School a year ago. This is an older school, and hopefully will get some remodeling done in teh near future. My daughter would complain about the dirtiness of the bathrooms all the time. Toilet paper all over the place, etc. Usually no t.p. was in there so they had none to use. Teachers wouldn't do anything about it when asked. Teachers overall were fairly good. We had problems with the math teachers, math being a struggle for my daughter, she needed all the help she could get. For the most part, I felt the teachers were pretty good and helpful. Too much emphasis on how you look and how much money your parents have here. Lots of kids with money, nice cars, and not a huge amount of kids working hard to get to where they'd like to go in life. The programs available are good.
