One star because zero isn't an option, this is the reason I hate living in this neighborhood. Not…read moreonly do the parents of kids attending this school suck at driving and my kid can't walk to their school anymore because they've almost been hit over 10 times by students and parents alike but the students are terrible drivers and incredibly disrespectful of the community around them. Typically when you live next to a school sure there are some annoying things but you get the benefits of community spaces and groups. Not with this private religious school, all you get is knowing a catholic person somewhere is rich and no you can't use their field or gym. I want to move out of the neighborhood I've loved for 10 years because of this school. The staff I've contacted about this are incredibly rude. The students I have seen doing some incredibly questionable projects over the years. All in all, Blanchet makes this Seattle neighborhood absolute garbage.

I have to agree with previous reviews that the staff of this school features some serious duds…read more While many of the teachers are great, some of them lack the motivation to not be complete doofuses, one teacher in particular comes to mind who is seriously lacking in intelligence, and overall personality.

The Edmonds Woodway High School campus is friendly to navigate. There are a couple of larger…read moreparking lots, one by a main entrance to the school on the south and one adjacent to some buildings and the stadium area on the north. Buildings on the campus are mainly brick and both the athletic areas and the main campus are well adorned in Warriors theme. My familiarity is mainly in regards to sports. The stadium area hosts competitions in sports including football, soccer, and track and field. Wesco Conference Championships for track and field have been a consistent end-of-season competition contested on the campus. When I competed against Edmonds Woodway in high school for swimming (2006 thru 2009 autumn seasons), their home pool was the Lynnwood Recreation Center - so no on-campus pool as least at that point in time. Open air on-campus sports facilities (such as the stadium area) may remain locked to the public even outside of school hours.

They have a great soccer field. Big parking lot. Clean area. Big and visible score board.read more

However, be warned: the cheesecake IS NOT gluten-free and our waiter neglected to mention this, but aside from that little hiccup, all of my expectations for a home-by-seven night on the town were met flawlessly. Definitely coming back.

I would definitely recommend this school to anyone. We actually live in everett and drive them here for school. They got some good programs for everyone to get involved. One in particular is watch dog. Dads volunteer and help the kids. The food selection for lunch and breakfast is very good. They have many healthy options and I think the PTA helps with that.

Dean of Academics Rich Sterns is an awful human being that I hope never teaches in any academia field for the rest of his lifetime.

Terrible experience here at this school and will never recommend anyone to attend here.

As a parent of two very different kids that attended (and attend) Chrysalis, I can say that they…read moreboth received very individualized instruction that allowed them to grow and flourish. Both are student athletes, which requires a very flexible schedule to deal with all of the travel to events and tournaments. Their teachers genuinely cared about them. Chrysalis does a great job of placing the students with teachers that can allow them to see their potential. My kids speak highly about all of their teachers. My oldest is very academic and the flexible pace of Chrysalis provided her with a vehicle to move at an accelerated pace through the subject matter that interested her the most. She felt very prepared for college and is working on a master's degree currently. My son's focus is soccer, not academics, but he's warmed up to school, because of the Chrysalis model, and feels as confident as ever to enter college and succeed. Not to trash the public school education, I was a product of it and enjoyed it, but I don't believe they would have been able to cope with high school in the same way due to their set of circumstances.

The way an institution treats its most vulnerable is telling of its values and ethics. The…read moreChrysalis lacks integrity and grossly misrepresents its ability to teach children with anxiety or autism. The school knowingly accepts students with special needs but lacks the training or experience to deal with situations that arise as a result of those disabilities. My son has anxiety and high-functioning autism. In the first 2 weeks of school, he experienced a consistently disorganized educational experience. Class schedules changed regularly, without much notice. His teachers would change, also without much notice. My son's calendar would often be missing the invites for the remote class. I would have to call the school multiple times a day to get the meeting links. Teachers would be late to class (which are a short 30 minutes). The school regularly assured us of their experience with special needs children, yet continued to engage in highly triggering behaviors. When my son's disability manifested by missing some classes and cursing (once) in an email to a teacher, they used it as an opportunity to kick him out of the school. The real issue was that they were dealing with a staffing shortage and my son's disability presented an opportunity for them to solve for a business challenge. They tried to spin my son's behavior as a flagrant violation. A school that is intolerant of the messiness of children should re-examine whether they should be in the business of education. A school that lacks empathy for children with disabilities, yet knowingly accepts them and is surprised when the disability manifests is really just an unethical, for-profit business. Chrysalis does a good job of marketing, but be very careful about sending your children here. The narrative of personalized education and helping children that are struggling is simply not true. The narrative is appealing for parents who are looking for a school they can partner with, but don't be misled by the marketing.

It's a school for kids who've had problems in other schools. Staff are extremely dedicated, but do…read morenot expect any academic rigor from them. If your kid's goal is successfully graduate high school without getting arrested or self harming, go here. Otherwise, you will probably find more useful opportunities elsewhere.
