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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

The STEM program is extremely competitive and brings in many smart people from around the district. The culture of the school is overall pretty welcoming.

Mountlake Terrace High School is nice, it's most notable for its basketball program and band, everything else is alright. The academics are decent, and it isn't incredibly rigorous which is okay but it's good for the student's psyche and mental state. It's also pretty diverse and safe as well.

I like Mountlake Terrace a lot. The culture and the diversity is very good here. I went to a generally white middle school so coming here being a BIPOC student was really nice. The education here is pretty good too. I haven't had any problems with that. Teachers are nice as well. Our principle is very interactive with the school which I think is a big thing to have when going to a school so that's really cool. All in all, Mountlake Terrace is a good school in my eyes.

Many teachers attended school there, and have taught for years, so there is a sense of pride and dedication. There are many resources for scienc...

Not happy so far. Staff at the office seems annoyed to have to talk to parents. Chastise parents for not knowing things we would NOT know, as we are not on campus every day. Teachers are not equally enforcing masks wearing in classrooms. Hot lunch is consistently running out of food by 3rd lunch. Tw...
