I was slammed into a locker on my way to lunch by a random 7th grade boy (I'm a 7th grade girl,…read morestraight A's, kind to everyone, loves art, is in all AP class's, has a bunch of friends and loves to make new ones all the time.) , a teacher watched the whole thing, now I have bruises and that kid didn't get in trouble at all. another time, this kid was straight up lying to me and I called him out on it, the kid went and told a teacher I was harassing him, even though I had just said " I know you are lying." nothing else. guess who got taken out of there math class to talk to the principal about "BULLYING" WTF???!! and the last of the many crappy things I could talk about was this one crazy lunch, these boys were throwing trash at people and screaming (not words, just screaming) and then I went to use the bathroom, I left my stuff behind because a teacher was watching the boys do this so I thought nothing would happen to my stuff. while I was gone some retard shoved a rotten, chewed up banana into my lunch box. I should feel safe at this school, not constantly worried someone is going to do something to me or my stuff when they have no reason to. I am not popular but I am very kind and I'm not one of those freaks who go from a boy to a girl and identify as a DOG, so why is this happening to me.

This school sucks more then I suck at Spanish class!

When we had a meeting they cited me being transgender and depressed as reasons that may "make me harm my peers". I never returned the violence, I would endlessly tell the adults around me. They would promise things would change, that I deserve respect, but it was all false promises. The fact is that I was always compliant with rules, I had good grades, I was quiet and shy. I never had a history of violence, I never did as I went through this school and graduated later on. Many of my teachers saw me as a bright student. I was a student in 2015-2016. I am 21 now. The trauma of the bullying and assaults had changed me as a person as a teen and young adult. This school also had a football coach as a well known Proud Boy (a racist organization, they are known to gather at a bar in Lake Stevens)

Very well funded school and a high quality education which is unfortunately hard to come by…read more Overall, the staff and administrators are generally helpful and friendly. But, there can be an overall preppy and egotistical demeanor shared throughout the school which can be difficult for academically focused kids who are less interested in sports, since football is of the highest priority here. A Lake Stevens education is one not to take for granted!

Lake Stevens High School is where I ran my first track meet ever, in the Spring of 2007. My race…read morewas the 800 metres (though I still wish it could have been the 1 mile run) and I ran representing Shorewood High School. As a junior in the Autumn of 2008, I competed here for swim team and the on-campus pool was the first place where I swam faster than 1:20.00 in the 100 yard breaststroke. It is the only high school I both swam and ran at on-campus in my four years taking part in high school sports (our swimming pool and track were community facilities located off-campus). The stands by the track were easy to navigate and viewing the racing was possible, no siding on the seating area blocking part(s) of the track from view. My glasses bounced on my face as I ran, which was a new experience in my running. Something about how my feet hit the track surface here was different from the other tracks I ran at to such an extent as to cause my glasses to bounce excessively. Approximately 16 years later, I still remember the feeling. The pool deck around the pool was a bit cramped, making walking around during races a little difficult. We still had space for our bags though, so it was not a big detractor. The pool was comfortable to compete in even on first time swimming at the pool. No slippery tiles at the end of the lanes requiring additional racing adjustment to accommodate. The lighting was on the dimmer side, which I personally enjoyed because too bright of lights in a pool with no windows can hurt my eyes.

As a teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, I can confidently say that Zion…read moreChristian School is one of the best schools I've ever been a part of. I've been here for two years now, and from day one, I knew this place was special. The leadership at Zion is strong, Christ-centered, and deeply committed to the mission of raising up students who love God and love learning. The staff here are not only experienced and skilled, but also compassionate, supportive, and unified in their purpose. There is a real sense of teamwork and joy among the faculty. Zion offers a nurturing and academically solid environment where students are known, loved, and challenged. From small class sizes that allow for personalized attention, to daily Bible integration, and an emphasis on character development, everything points students toward both academic success and spiritual growth. In addition to strong academics and faith-filled instruction, Zion also provides enriching opportunities through music, athletics, chapel, and community events that bring families together. There is a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes it more than a school--it truly feels like a family. If you're looking for a place where your child will be taught truth, encouraged daily, and prepared for life, I highly recommend Zion Christian School. It's a joy and privilege to be part of what God is doing here.

I feel like this is going to be a great help for my daughter to help her achieve her academic and personal goals for 7th grade and establish a routine that will help her for the rest of her schooling years and possibly beyond because it will also help her to be organized which she struggles with just a bit. We were very impressed after just one meeting with her coach. So, glad we decided to use FACS. I am going to recommend it to my niece and nephews.
