Quality Score: N/A Post Date:2009-07-04 “As a parent, I love this school. But, I firmly believe that the school should be rebuilt. The outdoor walkways dont work during the winter and the building is becoming very old. I hope that the issaquah school disrict will look into rebuilding in the next bond cycle in a few years.” This review was posted by a parent. Quality Score: 5 Post Date:2008-04-09 “My daughter is a first-grader at Apollo and she receives a first-class education there. The teachers are all very familiar with the kids (from all the classes) and their individual needs, and my daughter learns in a very safe and yet challenging environment. As with any school these days, funding is a challenge, but the active PTA does a good job of trying to fill in the funding gaps. An excellent principal leads what is a hard-working and dedicated staff, and overall, Apollo gets high marks for being the hardest working school in the Issaquah district.” This review was posted by a parent. Quality Score: 4 Post Date:2007-09-01 “Apollo is an older campus located in the less affluent area of the district. Some of the children start Kindergarten without speaking English well or at all, and there isn't as much parental involvement as some of the schools in the district. The result of this is lower test scores, but I feel it would be unfair to judge the school based on WASL scores only. Apollo has dedicated teachers that present the curriculum well. Issaquah SD has finally adopted Everyday Math to replace Math Trailblazers. This can only be an improvement. There is an after school art class that my boys love. There is also a relaxed, low-key environment that is missing in the schools in the more affluent areas. There is a lot of new housing going in, so that should help with fundraising for special programs.” This review was posted by a parent. Quality Score: 3 Post Date:2007-01-04 “Academically Apollo is solidly average, but, compared to other local district schools, the 'extras' are poor. PE, music, and art are very basic. The parental involvement is not broad enough or deep enough to raise the level at this time. The before and after school activities are very basic. The surrounding area is changing socioeconomically, so perhaps the parent involvement and expectations will increase and help improve this average school.” This review was posted by a parent. Quality Score: 5 Post Date:2003-10-23 “New principal this year. We loved this school. My youngest graduated last year. Great special education programs and staff. Warm and welcoming school with firm but fair discipline. Dedicated to learning for all students. Full-day gifted as well as gifted pull-out. An excellent school.” This review was posted by a parent. Quality Score: 5 Post Date:2003-08-10 “With combined efforts of the teacher, staff, and PTA, Apollo has a 'one big happy family' feel to it. There is always some exciting activity to look forward to and the kids are the bennifactors. As we are about to split in two as a new school is being built, it's going to be hard to say goodbye to our old friends.” This review was posted by a parent.
