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.

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.

Tyee is a very diverse school that values bringing student voice to our school and advocating for many communities. I'm really thankful and grateful that I got to be in an incredible school that embraces every culture.
