Summary

Bothell High School is a large, four-year public school serving grades 9–12 in the Bothell area, with approximately 1,740 students and the support of the highly rated Northshore School District.

For families, Bothell’s clearest strengths are graduation, student retention, and English language arts. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 96.2%, above both the district’s 94.5% and Washington’s 82.6%, while the dropout rate was just 1.6%. In 2025–2026, 83.13% of students were proficient in ELA—well above the district’s 73.73% and the state’s 52.81%. Bothell’s results compare favorably with Shorecrest High School, Mountlake Terrace High School, and Juanita High School in several of these measures, particularly graduation and ELA.

The main concern is academic consistency across subjects. Math proficiency reached 57.97% in 2025–2026 and has improved steadily, but it remains below the district’s 65.84% and trails Inglemoor High School and Woodinville High School. Science is the most urgent issue: only 39.40% of students were proficient, compared with 71.92% districtwide, and results have declined from 58.65% four years earlier. Bothell ranked 83rd of 396 Washington schools, or the 79th percentile, in 2025–2026—still a strong statewide position but below several nearby comprehensive schools. Parents may also want to ask about plans for science improvement, math support, and services for special education students, whose effectiveness ranking was near the statewide midpoint.

Do not send your child here if you want a good experience.
This school is shady as all hell, and the teachers won’t treat you with respect. One teacher was threatening me and backed me up into a wall.
I have PTSD and hardly got any support here, rather just saying I’m the one to blame for my own problems, and that I just have to “deal with it”. I was a 2020 graduate and am now a college student and realizing just how awful the high school treated me, my college treats me with respect, whereas this school didn’t.
So if you’re “”normal””, send your kid here, if you have mental disabilities, do not go here. They are VERY uneducated. Close Quote

I was a former student here (Class of 2011), and my experience was just average. School academics here are strong and you would typically find motivated peers and above-average teachers who cultivate/foster a positive learning environment. But besides that, there's not much else going for it that really left a strong mark on me five years later. I remember encountering a handful of ignorant teachers/mentors here, who gave special treatment to athletes and played favorites in classrooms often. This is not a good place for students who need to seek counselors or find resources for mental health services - I felt left behind in many cases and most were condescending or down-right rude. A few teachers often joined in on in-class bullying to make snide remarks in class to certain students who were challenged with unknown intellectual disabilities and/or self-esteem problems. I've always felt uncomfortable in classrooms during my time here, and it amazed me how the majority of my class were ignorant to it.

On a more positive note, I do remember a few amazing teachers who really cared to speak to students and understand them individually, motivate them, and cared to ask if everything was O.K. I'm sure much has changed since 2011, but it's disappointing to look back at my high school experience with indifference and forgetfulness. The overall environment of the school hinged upon your popularity, as perceived by others. It's a disappointing experience for me, and I know for certain I wasn't alone on it. Close Quote
