As student, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible impact this school has had on my intellectual, emotional, and social development.

Middle school student: I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience at Evergreen, a truly remarkable institution that has exceeded all my expectations. I definitely recommend it, and it's tied for my favorite elementary school I went to (which is surprising since I went to top-rated schools a lot.). In fact, I don't think I had even one GenEd friend the whole school year. Only thing I'd change would be the separation of Quest (Gifted) and GenEd (general education.) Having been a Quest student myself, I can definitely tell you that while socializing, Questies hang out with mostly other Questies and vice versa. There's a lot of good diversity, the students are super nice and friendly, the teachers are so helpful, and the staff is just so kind. I can definitely see why they're rated the best public elementary school in Washington.they really live up to their fame. Having gone to 3 other elementary schools (the last one definitely not being my favorite), it was a big relief for me having attended this school in my last year of elementary. Middle School Student: Words cannot describe how much I loved this school. With additions to improve student learning with better teacher and attempts to bring students together that more accurately cater to students the school would be a much better place. The student body is almost 2,500 students and tends to lack school spirit and unity, but there is lots of work being to done to try to remedy that. But teachers in the math department tend to be lacking. Overall, many of the teachers are fantastic and make me want to participate and absorb new material. For example, the strict routine with minimal time to socialize and eat during lunch. However, there are also many things to dislike. Having involvement in a wide variety of clubs, sports, and activities has also been a big help. Extracurricular opportunities have always been the largest contributing factor to my enjoyment and how I've met the most friends. Junior: I've enjoyed many parts of high school, like meeting new people and learning new material. I really love Yellowwood so much and I am so grateful for all the support I've gotten from them!. I have found the group classes to be a great way to make friends since there is only a couple people in a class which allows you to connect with them easier. The biggest group class is only 3-4 kids at most. You can take group classes or 1:1 classes at Yellowwood. It means so much knowing they care and want to see you thrive. And if something is bothering you, you can talk to the teachers about it and they will listen and help you work through it. They always ask how you are and they want an honest answer. The teachers make a big effort to form good relationships with their students. Sophomore: This is my second year and I have never loved school as much as I love Yellowwood! I struggled socially at a public school with bullying and being left out which made my mental health bad, but with Yellowwood I genuinely look forward to coming to school.
