Summary

Redmond High School is a large, comprehensive public high school serving approximately 2,300 students in grades 9-12 within the high-performing Lake Washington School District in an affluent area of Redmond, Washington.

The school is consistently ranked among the very best in the state, a status it has maintained since a dramatic improvement around 2014-2015. It achieves this elite standing as a traditional neighborhood school, unlike specialized magnets like the Nikola Tesla STEM High School or International Community School, which have selective admissions. With strong graduation rates and academic proficiency across all subjects, RHS delivers top-tier results for its large and diverse student body efficiently, spending less per student than several neighboring schools.

While excelling overall, the school's performance is slightly less strong for students from low-income families or those in special education compared to other student groups, which is an important consideration. It also has a slightly higher dropout rate than the district average, a notable point for a school of its caliber. Compared to other comprehensive high schools in the area, such as Juanita High School or Interlake Senior High School in the Bellevue School District, RHS demonstrates significantly higher academic performance and graduation rates.
