Pretty much how you would expect a typical high school from the PNW
Posted: December 13, 2018
Most of the time teachers here give out homework because they don't actually know how to teach the material themselves.

Going here for three years, I have many good and bad teachers. Some teachers here are truly amazing, like the teacher I had for AP Euro, or my AP Comp Sci. teacher. But then many of the math and English teachers that work here either don't actually know how to teach a class, and just hand out homework, or completely don't care about teaching the class and instead focus on hitting on the female students.

I only disagree here in the sense that I don't like the kind of character this (and quite frankly most schools) try to push on kids. Most class have a "sit down, shut up, and get to work mentality." Asking general questions on the topic that is being discussed is encouraged, but finding your own way to solve problems, or questioning material presented (and I don't mean saying "I'm pretty sure aliens created humans not EVILution!" I mean claiming the real reason King Henry viii created his own church was to seperate himself from the power of the Catholic church, and not because he wanted a divorce.)

The leadership both student and staff, while they never make any truly unpopular decision, don't seem to being doing much either.

Nope its a factory line like pretty much any other school.

horrible, this school says they will NOT tolerate bullying but always pushing it towards the side. It is truly pathetic.

they over give HW, didn't understand testing anxiety, nearly no lessons or work instruction
Posted: July 6, 2017
not caring, very forceful and they take students cellular devices for days thus breaking rules and not getting in trouble

there was a student who was bullied nearly everyday being harassed, teachers chose to blame that student and the offenders got to watch and laugh at her when she didn't do anything. The school has no understatement of bullying and mental disorders because they always force the students to do something they're not comfortable with even though it says on their portfolio that states anxiety issues which would effect presentations during class and etc.

My child was a freshman last year. Before this school his grades have always been outstanding. He will not be returning to this school for his next year. If he does he will be so far behind that there will be no way for him to catch up. Lynnwood High is telling students and parents that if their students are having a hard time Scriber Lake High is a good alternative. However, it has a rating of 2 on the Great Schools website. It just makes me wonder why would they suggest such a school that has such a low rating.

Great school! Very positive experience. There are some amazing and supportive teachers at this school. High school is what YOU make of it.

I am currently a student at Lynnwood High School and have been for the past 2 years. In these past 2 years I have maintained a decent GPA and yet I don't feel like I have learned anything at all. The teachers are really just there to tell you what to do and to hand out work, when it comes to explaining the material the teacher doesn't teach you, the paper the teacher HANDS OUT teaches you. The administration is very unreasonable as well. The disciplinary, principal, and vice principial are especially hard to reason with and force unnecessary restrictions towards the students.

Lynnwood is amazing. I am a senior here, and I have moved nine times and I have been to seven different schools, and this is the one, that really pushed me to reach my full potential. If it wasn't for my teachers, I would still be the wallflower who didn't know how to interact with anyone. But now, I am confident, I am in the drama class, I am part of the student body, and I am a leader. The teachers at Lynnwood, really care about the students, and they make it so that they can recall any student by their name and what they do at the school. They ask me how I am, what I have going on, and what I am interested in. My fellow students are involved in so much, and we are all so different. Lynnwood, is extremely awesome, and it means a lot to me.

I really like this school, it has improved a lot since we have a better building. In fact it is the best building on the west coast now because it's a green school. Also it has a lot of races and that's important because students are more open minded. There are a lot of really great teachers and all are nice. there are also a lot of clubs students can join or make up.

This school doesn't care about education. New digs doesn't make you a better teacher or administrator. Ship 'em in Ship 'em out is the status quo. Wake up!
