She told me to stand up in front of my entire class to show them "how not to sing" knowing I had my wisdom teeth removed the day before. She was misogynistic, picked favorites and singled out the girls for laughing with each other before class. she said, "why would we expect men to respect us and not see us as objects when we act like that." Other than MRS KENT... Roosevelt was an amazing school.

I know that this review is pretty long. Just consider the list of alumni as extra credit reading…read more FHS is currently the oldest high school amongst the twelve high schools in the Seattle School District. FHS first opened its doors in 1912 in Seattle's Mt. Baker neighborhood and it was designed in the Neoclassical/Greek Revival style by Seattle School District architect, Edgar Blair. The school was once deemed the most beautiful high school west of the Mississippi and featured at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933. The other basics: Mascot: Quakers Annual: Tolo* Colors: Green and Black Newspaper: Tolo * = Tolo is a Native American (Kalapuya) word that means: "to win, excel, gain, prevail, earn, control, convince, overcome, subdue, triumph, and succeed." Call me a freak, but I did enjoy my years in high school. I know that at times it was awkward, but I generally loved being an actively engaged student at Franklin. May it be the various clubs, athletics and the like; I definitely made the most of it. Oh, I did a lot of studying too! The school curriculum hasn't changed from I have seen. They still offer many honors, advance placement and humanities classes. I could go on about athletics at Franklin, but that would be a review in itself. Suffice to say, FHS has excelled in sports with numerous city and state championships. One thing I didn't know is that Franklin has the most players from western Washington to play in the NFL (8). FHS also feature a powerhouse Mock Trial team. One thing that I do remember about school was the diversity. FHS has always been one of the most racially and ethnically diverse schools in Washington. Former student, and Nobel Prize winner, George Hitchings ('23) said it best in his biography: "My experiences at Franklin High School in Seattle were notable for another reason. We had a most heterogeneous population, one that blended upper class and minorities including blacks, Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese and first generation Catanians. As a result I lost any self-consciousness I felt in dealing with people from different cultures and backgrounds." I didn't know what a Catanian was and had to look it up. Catania is a city in Sicily. That makes sense because Rainier Valley, where the school is located, was known as "Garlic Gulch." This concludes the formal part of this review. The rest is just extra credit. The following is just a small sample of distinguished Quaker alumni: Medicine: George Hitchings ('23) - Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine. Considered to be the pioneer in the biochemical approach to chemotherapy. Dr. William Hutchinson ('27) - Cancer research specialist and founder of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Business & Government: Gary Locke ('68) - Former King County Deputy Prosecutor, King County Executive and two-term governor of Washington. Alfred Moen ('34) - Inventor and founder of Moen Faucets. Everett W. Nordstrom ('19) - Took over his father's shoe company in 1928 with his two brothers and turned a local company into a national clothing retail empire. Nordstrom is the largest shoe retailer in the United States. The Nordstrom family is also responsible for bringing the NFL to Seattle and were the first owners of the Seahawks. Victor Steinbrueck ('28) - Architect. Designer of the Space Needle and saved the Pike Place Market from destruction. He was a force for preserving the architectural heritage of Seattle. Journalism: Royal Brougham ('12) - Sports writer and former editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Some of you may recognize his name because the street that runs between Qwest Field and Safeco Field is named after him. Emmet Watson ('37) - Columnist that worked for many of Seattle's newspapers that include the Seattle Star, P-I and Times. Noted author and champion of Lesser Seattle. Stephanie Stokes Oliver ('70) - Author, publisher, and former editor of Essence Magazine.

While much effort has been put into developing education programs against bullying in schools and…read morein our community , most of these programs only address bullying among students and youths. In contrast, very little attention is given to the possibility that the bully is a teacher or adult. One such teacher exists at this school. RS. Positive inclusive attitudes are a key factor in achieving an inclusive education. This teacher, unfortunately, displays none of the attributes required as a professional educator to help the most vulnerable and at risk youth in our community.

If I could give 0 stars I would. My son went here for over a year and was not only misunderstood…read morebut mistreated by a few of the staff members including the director. He has just recently been diagnosed with ADHD and was having issues in this preschool and has miraculously been doing amazing since going to kindergarten and leaving this facility. On numerous occasions I heard the way the staff spoke to my child along with other kids, and rushing them to next tasks. My son even mentioned them pinching his hands when they grabbed him. I knew something was off with my son due to tantrums and such and wanted resources to figure out what was going on that the director could hardly provide and refused to help me and when I asked for help multiple times ended up calling me "verbally abusive" because I called her and her staff out for their negligence and mistreatment of my child. Saying his behavior was due to "making choices." Come to find out he actually has ADHD which makes transitions, being yelled at, and demanded things very difficult to process. Crazy how a mom just knows their child but people try to tell you that your child is just "difficult" because he didn't fit in to a very ludicrous situation. My son is by no means perfect but really needed compassion and understanding. But it all worked out in the end!

I have to say my family and I are really grateful we found such a wonderful center. First of all…read morewhen I was comparing programs prior to choosing this one, they were the most friendly and welcoming and accommodating by far. I didn't feel like they were scripted when explaining what they can offer in the child care program or the instruction for my daughter. You can tell they are real people who love children and understand kids like structure but play time as well. The hours that they run are amazing; the best I have seen around. (I think 6am all the way to 7pm) Now I normally do only part of that but if I have to run an errand prior to pick up I know I have more than enough time. My drop off and pick up times change a lot, and can change daily which is absolutely fine with them. When my daughter started she was initially full time, 5 days a week. Now she does part time as my schedule has changed and they even allow drop in care. Since my daughter is only drop in now, I just need to call and let them know when I'll be dropping her "in". I can call as late as that morning! Another perk is the cost of care. If you have less than 5 hours a day it's a part time rate and if it's more than 5 hours the cost is a full time day. That is daily; one day can be 3 hours, the next maybe a long day at work and its 9 hours. That would be the cost of one full day and one part day. It's not all or nothing like all the other places. Last I would like to mention is the staff and director are very friendly and really love the kids. There has not been one time that I have seen them be any less then caring. I have walked in to pick up my daughter and witnessed pure melt downs of another child and they handled it gracefully and with empathy. I have no complaints. I highly recommend them.

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.

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.
