Summary

Eastlake High School is a large, comprehensive public school for grades 9–12 in Sammamish, Washington, with 2,481 students in the Lake Washington School District, a high-performing suburban district ranked 4th among 238 Washington districts.

Eastlake is one of Washington’s strongest large high schools, ranking 6th statewide in 2025–2026 and earning a five-star SchoolDigger rating. Its ranking has remained near the top for years, generally between 4th and 11th since 2015–2016. Current proficiency is especially strong in English Language Arts, at 91.32%, compared with 80.33% districtwide and 52.81% statewide. Math proficiency is 79.48%, above the district’s 75.03% and well above the state’s 43.11%. Math has shown the clearest recent improvement, rising from about 71% in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 to nearly 80% today. Eastlake’s current science result is suppressed by the state, so it is unavailable for comparison.

Eastlake compares favorably with nearby large schools. It exceeds Redmond High School, Issaquah High School, and Skyline High School in current ELA and math results. Its 96.8% graduation rate is also higher than Redmond’s 94.3% and Issaquah’s 94.9%, while its 1.5% dropout rate is well below the statewide 9.8%. Smaller specialized schools such as Nikola Tesla STEM High School and International School may report even stronger results, but they serve substantially fewer students and have different program structures. Eastlake’s main area to monitor is special education effectiveness, whose statewide ranking fell notably in 2025–2026 after two very strong prior years.

What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, December 9, 2017

With 2 kids having attended EHS, our overall experience has been extremely negative. The EHS staff have not been effective, especially VP Todd Apple (completely worthless with absolutely terrible judgement), and Laura Dean, the worst teacher our family has ever come across...she has frequently discriminated against a special needs student and fosters a highly negative environment. Her classroom is often described as "prison, with an inflexible, closed-minded dictator who does not seem to care about her students. Their athletic
trainer, Maria, is highly vindictive and petty when anyone questions her actions. She is overly emotional and is more concerned with CYA activities rather than doing what is best for the student-athletes. She is very controlling with awful judgment. She has inexplicably "ruled" against the treatment recommendations of highly respected, well-educated and much more experienced doctors, which seems absurd to me.

Overall, a school with major leadership problems. A staff overhaul is much-needed and long overdue. Close Quote
