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.

I think one of the worst things about Sammamish is just how rude many of the students are. They're not only rude to other students, but make it harder for the teachers as well. A lot of them seem to have no self awareness or maturity whatsoever and that leads to some difficulties with actually learning during class.

Sammamish High School is an amazing high school. The school is very welcoming to students of different culture, ethnicity, background, etc. The teachers are very supportive of the students and help the students if they need it. The building overall is amazing. This year was the first year that they offered culinary as a class because last year they built kitchens.

Sammamish High School is definitely a very diverse and welcoming school. While providing necessary aid to families, they also have decent staff and trusted adults. Sometimes students aren't controlled or faculty is out of line but otherwise its a great school. Offers a lot of different clubs and opportunities to join different activities.

My daughter attended this school all four years and experienced a lot of bullying and lack of support with addressing issues to stop or prevent future bullying. The teachers were great, but administration would ignore the situations and do their best to hide there were issues with bullying.
