The name of this school is Einstein Middle School NOT Albert Einstein Middle School which is…read morelocated in a different state (California). Einstein is NOT to be confused with Albert Einstein, they are different things. That was made abundantly clear in the two years I went to school here. We covered that Einstein was a family name and Albert Einstein was not the only Einstein rather one of many. A subtle/not-so-subtle way of highlighting the importance of family through the curriculum. I still think it is a kind origins to name a school after a family. So many things were/are named after individuals that it was nice to be attending a school that was founded and centered on the importance of family by being named after a family. I felt that way when I attended here (2004-2006) as well. This school is for 7th and 8th grades. I attended for the whole grade for both 7th and 8th grades (I was 12 years old in 7th grade and 13 years old in 8th grade). We used the trimester system while I was there. The mascot is the Tiger. Combined with Einstein that makes the elongated version the Einstein Tigers. A principal was Mr. Dunbar both years I attended Einstein Middle School. The physical education classes here changed my life. In order to prepare for our physical fitness assessments (the Beep test and the Fun Run) I started running and lost 40 pounds over the course of approximately two trimesters. That snowballed in to a more active lifestyles on a day-to-day basis outside the sport season (I swam, played soccer, and tennis from a young age). As a result I developed self confidence and honed my self-motivation and self-determination skills. Which are useful life skills to have and continue to strengthen to this day. Health classes were also good, not as squeamish as those who took them before those in my grade made them out to be. Foreign languages were not required for middle school, however three years of a foreign language were needed for high school. If you took two years in middle school they would count towards your high school requirement and you would only need to take one more year in high school. I took Spanish for two years and was fortunate to have the same amazing teacher both years. I enjoyed the selection of electives, some of the ones I took included Cartooning, Sculpture I, Sculpture II, Web Design (through which I learned to code in HTML), and Home Economics (sewing and cooking/baking). I also was a Teacher T.A. for a physical education class and Home Economics. The skills I developed in these electives I have continued to develop over the years and integrated into both my life and career. One of the activities I partook in was yearbook. We took great pride in designing and making the yearbooks and the school had a day dedicated to year-book signing each year. Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, and English I had both grades. I liked the subjects covered and diversity of approaches to teaching used. Seventh grade was the first time I bought a mathematics textbook to keep. We also had a period called Enrichment where we learned about various social issues and how to combat problems such as cyberbullying. Some of the tips and guidance provided in regards to cyberbullying I continue to use to this day. We covered other topics as well that were aimed at further enriching our education. My first and only school food fight happened here during one of the school lunch periods. Most of us made a dash for the exit when we realized what was happening (myself included). Someone threw yogurt and some of it got on my bag before I got out. It was a bit of a ruckus and school bell schedules and operations changed as a result of this event. At least that is how we interpreted it at the time and the next couple years that followed. Teaching here was overall amazing. Individually and collectively the teachers (and administrators) did an excellent job. In my two years I only one negative experience from my perspective in regards to schooling. I had a teacher lose one of my assignments, give me an F, find the assignment and not change the grade even though he was the one to lose it... What a douchebag. I suppose the silver lining is that this happened in middle school and not high school where grades play a role in determining where one goes to college. Still this experience did not detract from the excellence of the other teachers for me, and on the whole I have fond memories of this school. Go Einstein Tigers!!!

Heard nothing but great things, and I'm trying hard to keep her inspired until then. Just so realize what you'll have to deal with and not to paint a broad stroke, but the women staff and teachers here are the wicked type in every experience we've had. I'm not sure why, but this school is filled with them. Other nearby schools we've been to in Shoreline are the polar opposite.

We had our kids at Evergreen for four years. Most of the teachers were top notch, the curriculum…read morewas great, and the campus was very open and almost like a little college. We made a lot of great parent friendships as well. Ms. Judith, Kathleen, and Debra in PS, PK, and 1st grade were absolutely awesome and did an amazing job with our boys. The school also has great financial resources with very generous families supporting continued investment in the physical plant and new programs. One thing we wished were different might have been the level of competition between the kids to be first or best at everything and the impact that started to have on our oldest (who was beginning to only want to pursue things where he could be #1). I don't think the school encourages that (on the contrary, I think they encourage all the kids to always try) but it could be the natural dynamic of any school that only has gifted children. Some of our friends' kids also encountered challenges around bullying; it wasn't rampant though and could have been the reality of how kids interact at that age. On a related note, our biggest advice is to be aware of the sibling admissions policy. Our youngest was admitted to and attended Evergreen PS or PK and was doing great according to all the teacher evaluations. However, after two tests, his top IQ score was in the 90th percentile and as such was short of the 95th percentile cutoff. We were then told he could not continue to Kindergarten (even though the PK teacher strongly recommended he advance to Kindergarten). It made for a really stressful and emotional year for us and while we respect the School's right to set these kinds of policies, it seemed at odds with the values of community, inclusion, and social and emotional intelligence -- especially since the testing data was very inconsistent and in the gray area.

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…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.

Children in care here will be loved, happy and well prepared for starting Elementary when they complete Pre-K. They have a rich arts program, skilled teachers and administrators, and have FAR more diversity than what you will find at any other school on THIS campus. If I was grading just the preschool it would be 4-5 stars. Unfortunately, my experience with Kings goes beyond the preschool, but my praise of this school ends there. The school has made some effort to try and address their serious issues with race over the last year and a half, but from a student writing Whites Only over a school faucet two years ago, to bigoted parents getting angry that the new, very qualified Vice Principal, made things "all about race", simply because she told families she had a passion for race and reconciliation; their seems to be an abundance of families who chose this school to stay away from diversity and race relations. The school has very little black and latina diversity, so they have started disproportionately exploiting those children's images on marketing to give the appearance of diversity that simply isnt there. The school also is unable to help students with special learning needs, such as dyslexia. I've watched several families who love the school pour countless dollars into Kings for special reading help only to have to pull their child just to get the appropriate learning help through a public school. The school also made big changes at the beginning of the 2019 year to "clarify" previously unstated positions on a number of social issues that are not universally agreed upon within the Christian church. The one that made the headlines (because teachers were forced to quit if they wouldnt fall under the authority of the school and express agreement with Kings position) was that Kings staff must profess to believe that Homosexuality is unnatural. They also made clear that they will continue to teach this to their students unapologetically (see attached picture from their 11th grade textbook, just one example of why bullying is such a problem here). The CEO and administration like to "prove" they still love gay people by telling you about their gay sister or brother in law. Ugg telling gay kids their natural sexual orientation is unnatural and dangerous, not loving. The school also has big problems with parental cliques, exclusivity and elitism. The school holds all PTA meetings and many parent informational meetings or Principal discussions, during the day, making it difficult for working parents to be involved with PTA, ask questions or have their voices be heard. This was a common complaint I heard from working parents. Finally, parents should be aware that the CEO of CRISTA, the former head of "Sound the Alarm" and a lead Supporter and Activist for Referendum 65 in 2006 (which fought to repeal a law that protected people from being discriminated against based on sexual orientation) has made it her lifes work to fight against the "normalization" of homosexuality and as such, has brought the same agenda to Kings schools. Her leadership and direction are taking the school in a scary direction. I thought my kids would be here for the long haul, so pulling my oldest mid year was an emotional decision. My daughter starts K next year so we decided to let her finish at the preschool this year so she wouldn't need to start 2 new schools in less than a year. I love so many of the teachers and families here; I just wish I had known all these things before we chose Kings, since they dont align with our values and we wouldn't have had to put our son through such a rough transition mid-year. Clarity can be a gift, so I hope this gives some clarity to other parents making enrollment decisions right now, so they do so with their eyes wide open.
