Summary

Bellevue High School is a large, top-tier public high school serving about 1,683 students in grades 9-12 within the highly-regarded Bellevue School District, known for its dramatic rise from the 11th to the 94th percentile in statewide rankings over the past decade.

This school stands out for its exceptional support for English Language Learners, ranking 3rd in the state, and its efficient operation, achieving excellent results even with a higher student-teacher ratio than neighbors like Newport Senior High School and Mercer Island High School. While its English Language Arts scores are very strong, there is room for growth in mathematics compared to some nearby top-10 schools like International School, and science scores have shown some year-to-year variation.

Bellevue High operates in a fiercely competitive local landscape, surrounded by several of Washington's best schools, yet maintains a strong balance of high overall achievement and effective support for diverse student groups. Its graduation rate is solid, though the school continues to refine its approach to support all students consistently, including those in special education programs.
