Research Stadium public Schools in Seattle, Washington

“I just graduated from Stadium this Spring, and I feel so fortunate to have gone here. It seems to be the school that either you love or hate, and most people love it. It's more of a liberal school, but that suited me just fine. I found my education to be great. The AP classes offered at Stadium are tremendous, and the Foreign Languages are awesome. The German, French, and two of the Spanish teachers are amazing. And the school spirit at Stadium is incredible. That's the kind of school I would send my child to.”

“Stadium high is a terrible place to learn. Communication is spread thin causing confusion. terrible athletics departement.”

“I have a very shy freshman at Stadium. She seems to be coming out of her shell this year because the coaches, teachers, and kids are so nice. She has went from an 'average' middle schooler to an honor roll kid in AP classes. I just can't believe the positive difference H.S. is making in her life. The only drawback I have found is getting call backs from the councelors.”

“I can't believe the negative comments on this site. We had six boys graduate from Stadium and they all have different strengths. The school was great for all of them. The music program is especially good. The bands do well in contests all over and they have gone to Europe, New Orleans, California and many other places to perform. The teachers and the principal are great!”

“I used to live in the town of Acton, Massachusetts and attended Acton-Boxborough Regional High School until my senior year when we had to move for my dad's job. Compared to AB, the quality of education here at stadium is downright horrible. The class sizes are huge and led by horrible teachers, there is less than 100% graduation, nowhere near 98% of kids go to college (like at AB). You can't get off campus or driving privileges here; the students aren't trusted. Few horrible sports teams, poor music program and drama, bad academic teams and other extracurriculars few and bad. There are only like 5 AP classes compared to AB's 20, and the building may look cool from the outside but it's not a 90,000,000 dollar state of the art school. I really miss AB and Stadium is a horrible place to learn.”

“If you work hard, you'll do fine here.”

“We had a wonderful experience at Stadium.”

“Stadiums teachers are very clueless. At least the other schools I have been to the teachers cared somewhat of whether you passed their class or not. Stadium says they hold the students to their highest potential but when I was there I found that it was hard to follow the teachers. They told us the straight answer but they never took the time to explain ANYTHING. The whole entire school board is pure sloppy.”

“Stadium is an amazing school. I'm a junior now & I love everything about it - i love the students (especially c/o 2006) I love the teachers, I love everything about it - it may be a big school and we have some occasionally fights here and there but its nothing our school cant handle. Everyone works together well - I'm in ASB at school and we all love to work hard to make sure that the school year is the best it can be. Parents students & teachers make it great for a fun learning enviroment!”

“I'm a sophomore this year and Stadium's had its problems and all, but not every high school is perfect. Stadium, I think, is by far one of the greatest high schools. Many of the teachers are willing to explain and take their own time to help you understand something, if you don't get it the first time around. There are really great after-school activities, too, that almost anyone can participate in. I love going to Stadium and people can trash Stadium all they want, but I don't think they'll find a better high school than ours. -TANG, c/o 2007”

“The classes are so big that in the first two weeks that you dont know what teacher you are going to have for sure. The Teachers Could use some work. the big thing is students that are out of control, some of the students are always trying to pick a fight. The staff in the office is great. The sophemore Class right now (class of 2007) is the biggest calss right now, and there is a limited amount of teachers so the classes are full from 28-34 studests per calss.”

“I loved this school! I went to high school here for just a few months, but the teacher's are great and overall it is a high school that is at highest quality. My sister now attends a local Christain school and it's not even close to Stadium's quality. Every high school will have drugs, and bad students and fights, but Stadium stands out by the simple fact of how the teachers/staff and students handle it togehther. Plus the education part is great too. I one day hope to be a teacher here at Stadium!”

“Stadium HS has a student body that reflects the diversity of our Tacoma community. Our teachers are dedicated and hard working. Many have been in the field for decades. The music program is absolutely fabulous, from Orchestra to Choir to our 4 bands including a tremendous jazz band. Our boosters and parents are energetic and creative. Ask anyone who has volunteered or who has experience with this school: Stadium is a great, great school.”

“This school could be so much more, but the teachers seem to be detached from the kids somewhat, with a new scandal every week.”

“i just started here at stadium i have been to four different schools and out of all of this one is the best the teachers actually help the students with school problems and personal problem like problems with your freinds or parents. i would have to so this shool has opened up new opertunities for my parents are glade of my grades, befor i was getting strait f's and now this year i got a B strait acrost my report card so i think this school could help me determin my futer.”
