Beaver Lake Middle School Reviews

My high schooler loved her experience at Beaver Lake and my current middle schooler echoes her opinion. The principal does a fantastic job of communicating with parents and I couldn't say enough great things about the staff. The teachers are passionate about their subjects and keep the students engaged and well prepared for high school. I just wish my high schooler could say the same things about Skyline and PCFC, but we feel very fortunate to have our Beaver Lake experience!

Beaver Lake Middle School is an excellent, first rate school. It has an excellent principal. The office staff are fantastic and BLMS has excellent counselers. Although Beaver Lake is overcrowded, that is not the school's fault; this occured as a result of people moving to Issaquah. Anyway, they are turning Pacific Cascade Freshman Campus into a middle school, which should solve that problem. My daughter absolutely loves this school, and my younger son (fourth grade) completely looks forward to attending BLMS.

This school has great academics and is very challenging without the plateau over-competitiveness. It is very over-crowded with a solution years off--they will covert the Pacific Cascade 9th grade campas in a few years to a middle school. Mostly, caring and compassionate teachers with the exception of a sub-par, cranky, disappointing teacher who should have retired years ago. Facilities are nice and well-maintained. The office staff are great! Some parents feel that the principal seems very interested in test scores above all else. Electives, especially foreign language, are lacking. Also, there are simply not enough honors/humanities plus classes for those who meet requirements. There are not enough team sports offered and the spring Track team seems especially limited on how many students may compete. No football, soccer, etc. Overall, this is an excellent school, but every school has it's problems. I would still recommend it to others.

Beaver Lake is overcrowded. It is very overwhelming for 6th graders. Overall the principal does his best with such a large group. The secretaries are great and there is a postive attitude about being there. The extracurricular suffers from too many students and not enough coaches or time to allow them all to participate fully or even be taught.

This school was not good. Poor teachers, not a lot of electives, and the overall school was just not good.

I hate it. It is a bad school, poorly run, and they had very poor music and arts.Very little parent involvement, and I do not like the way the school is run.
