International School Reviews
Quality Score: 5 Post Date:2009-12-06
“I'm a current student at IS, and I love it here. IS has, in particular, a great staff. Many teachers are absolutley adored, and it's a regular thing for students to hang out in various classrooms at lunchtime, or afterschool (often until 5 or 6pm, if they're waiting for a ride) not only to work, but to chat with other students, and with whatever teachers should happen to be in that classroom. Granted there are some teachers that most students agree don't teach to the same standards set by the rest of the staff, but I think that's true at any school. All the students also build great peer relationships here. Even if someone isn't one of your best friends, you're likely to be close enough to them to know their name, be able to tease them/joke with them, know who they hang out with, cont.” This review was posted by a student.

“The International School is a truly unique school. It is the only public school in the Northwest to require seven years of foreign language, seven years of fine arts and/or seven years of physical education. It has created a welcoming community devoted to providing the best possible, well-rounded education.” This review was posted by a parent.

“This school is merely a posture of a good school: the teachers are nearly competent, the curriculum is hardly imaginative, the atmosphere is stifling, and the administration is a total joke, bending in to bureaucratic demands and whims of all types, with no regard towards sanity. IS has a marginally more conducive learning environment than other schools in the Bellevue school district - not saying much, by any means.” This review was posted by a parent.

“I'm an alumni of International and I spent 7 great years there. The teachers are amazing and I would go as far as to call many of them my great friends; I have learned so much from them. The school has changed and continues to change. I am sad to see the old International disappear so rapidly. It is a good school, but it use to be great.” This review was posted by a other.

“A wonderful school, but I worry that the priorities of the district are such that they're willing to give up on International's amazing progress. I'm amazed to hear a district continually make claims that one of their schools isn't really that special.” This review was posted by a parent.

“I am currently a student at the International School in Bellevue, Washington and I LOVE IT! The only downside is the fact that we do not have any school sports. You will have to do sports through the other high school, which I do. Although, we have a awesome drama program (I participate in) and a 1'st place Robotics team. Compared to the other schools, you have a close relationship with teachers and they actually know your name! Also, we have a blocked schedule, rather than 7 classes a day! P.E. is something that our school focuses more on than other schools by running more and by working out year round. There are many more great things about I.S. Come check it out and see for yourself!” This review was posted by a student.
