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.

International Community School in Kirkland embodies both the words "international" and "community" found in its name. Through lessons, clubs, and whole school activities like the annual Camp Phoenix, there are opportunities to connect to people of all backgrounds and ages. While there may not be many electives, the core curriculum is strong, especially in English, Art and Math.

This school is an amazing school, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone. Beware of the workload though, as not everyone will be able to handle it.

Extremely toxic culture, same set of teachers for far too many years - very easy for them to develop favorites and not change. Grading scale is unhelpful for college applications, curriculum is too strict with very few electives to choose from - no useful life skills courses.

It is a small school and my student feels like it is a family. Students are academically focused and exhibit very good behavior.
