The best experience I had at Mount Rainier high school was the variety of friends that I hd, I meet so many people from different backgrounds and I learned a lot about other culture perspective and history of countries.

Overall, a good school in the district. But many things on campus was confusing like all the rules and safety.
2/13/2025
Seniors have a hard time getting all the required graduation credits without having to take edgenuity classes. Some teachers are very supportive while others are too strict and harsh.

this school sucks if you have the chance to go to another school take that chance whatever you do, do not come here it'll be the worst 4 years of high school even if you do running start
9/13/2018
Get in the Advance Placement Classes for 9th & 10th grade & then get out as fast as you can to the Running Start program at Highline CC for 11th & 12th grade. If you can take this path you have a chance of making it. If you stay in the low level classes for 4 years at Mount Rainier HS, you will end...
