Research The Center School public Schools in Seattle, Washington

“A good school for the right student. Pluses: Small size creates a strong community, current principal excellent (Escobar), arts focus/offerings especially film and performing arts, partnership w/Seattle Rep, integrated humanities program is exceptional, block schedule and later school start time (8:30/9:30) Minuses: Students can fall through cracks despite small size, latest graduation rates far below expectations, staff turnover in recent years has left some departments poorly staffed, lack of music program, limited class offerings due to school's small size, poor college counseling”

“This is the best school ever and im so glad i go here”

“The school is wonderfully commited to its students. Our student had enormous personal difficulties while at The Center School. The school personnel responded quickly and attentively. We were very impressed by the scope and depth of caring for our grandson,and the measures implemented in resolving his personal issues. We never felt we were alone in responding to his needs; indeed, they spent countless hours researching his condition and the options available to help him. All of us are extremely grateful for the level of commitment shown by every person. The Center School focuses on individual goals and works diligently with every student to ensure they reach their highest level of acedemic and scholastic achievement. This is not to say that all students are A+ students. A number of students are special needs and blend seamlessly with the rest of the student body. We highly recommend this school to parents and sudents.”

“Wonderful small public school for student with interest in the arts.”

“As a small arts-based public school, Center definitely makes an effort. There are issues with funding which make it difficult to integrate the arts into the school as much as might be desired. The teachers are dedicated, passionate, inspirational, and one-on-one. Center's staff is what makes it such a fantastic school. The junior and senior year curriculum is very strong and academically enriching.”
