5/24/2025
The best parts are definitely the people and the teacher if you have a good one. The worst part is the food and the safety around the school is kinda bad.
1/28/2025
Rainier Beach is a very diverse and community oriented school. But I would like to see more communication regarding resources/ programs and college readiness.
12/8/2024
Overall the school is pretty mid but the education there is great and so are most of the teachers they help you when needed and some just give you a hard time because you probably don't pay attention in class

6/20/2011
This high school is going downhill fast. It was already in crisis, and this last school year has been the worst yet. There is no accountability for students' behavior. The administrative team and dean of students have all been fired or transferred, and 90% of the staff requested transfers. It is imp...
