The teachers and staff there was great and I enjoyed how the treated me and my friends. The main problem with the school is that I didn't feel like I learned much while I was there. I don't think that is mainly on the teachers though. I think the students that went to the school didn't give the teachers a chance to teach properly without them constantly getting interupted. The days that the annoying kids weren't in class were heavenly. The teachers taught great and I actually learned on those days. But there were a lot of kids that needed special attention from the teacher so it felt like the teachers spent all their time working with them and not as much with the smarter kids in class. Overall, I enjoyed my time their though.

Tyee is a good school but the student don't know how to behave in it. And also the old school is being building again.

The best part about my experience at Tyee are the school's teachers and staff. They are respectful, kind, and they are very supportive. One of the worst experiences is how some students act but this is something that happens in every single school and we cannot change it.
