This school lwk sucks. If you ain't doing IB you are cooked. No one comes out of this school and becomes super successful. Oh and btw the teachers don't teach.
1/23/2026
jp attends this school so its pretty tuff. otherwise its okay. most of the kids here spend time not worrying about academics, but of the few that do and are enrolled in ib programs or running start at highline college, they are fairly good people. the school overall? meh.
11/23/2025
If you are not taking an IB class, coursework is not nearly rigorous enough and does not prepare you well for college. The school itself is fine, and the majority of teachers are decent.

Great School, something that sucks is some people don’t know how to live but overall a great School.
6/24/2019
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...
