GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The school has a great program, but we have been let down with communications around deadlines. My son registered for AP courses but missed the deadline to pay and was denied the chance to challenge several exams. He is now scrambling to catch up. He also missed an unknown deadline to apply his sports hours for PE credit even though they occurred this calendar year. As a working parent, trying to stay on top of him and his deadlines has been challenging. I don't feel supported by the current administration. I do not understand why he is being denied applying his hours and why the administration repeatedly refuses to work with us and communicate. Reaching out by email has many times resulted in no response. For a school with such a high rating in Bellevue I expected more support.

Interlake High School has been the toughest yet most rewarding school. From my freshman year I struggled to keep up but now that I am a senior I can look back and see how I have grown academically. Although my worst parts have been struggling to keep up with the IB course work it soon became the best part of my experience. Knowing I get to graduate from and IB school with a handful of resources has been amazing.

Great school for academics, lots of club opportunities, but needs work building a bridge between academics and kids feeling like they belong.

Absolutely the worst high school in the area. They spent three years ignoring my daughter. If you’re not one of their precious little IB students, they couldn’t care less about you. Her counselor screwed up her transcripts and the administration is completely non-communicative. They really don’t car...

My son is a junior and his experience and ours dealing with admin has been unacceptable. I cant wait for him to begin Running Start. Teachers and counselors do not reply to parent concerns. Expect to be left on read. Kids are left to figure things out on their own and when they ask for help are met...

The school is tuff but worth it. It’s famous for its IB program which students who have time and commitment to take, should take because it is a very wellrounded learning experience. Cliquey esp between gifted and general education. If you’re looking for rigorous course curriculum, this is a good sc...
