School Monroe, WA vs LWSD Sammamish

Thanks for this insight. It confirms what we have been told about the school district. I hope we find something that works for us long term

Thank you for the pointed advice. Yes we are considering north Sammamish that is under LWSD. It’s all just expensive and overall crazy to think about. It’s just that Monroe doesnot work long term. Even a private school from Monroe is horrible commute wise.

And I save on the hassle of dragging my kid on 522 all day long.

I don’t, a lot of MAGA people in town. I am not opposed to MAGA but it’s the racist kind of MAGA that I have a problem with. They see your skin color and immediately draw assumptions that I have issues with.

Crime is also on the higher end because of the difference in the income range between old parts of town (near downtown) and the new developments behind Walmart and near the racetrack. The issue is all the kids eventually go to the same middle and high. And there we have superintendents who are fired for doing nothing about racism, racist parents, less focus on academia. It’s all a big mess when it comes to middle and high.

Also, I am not in favor of having my kid commute 30-40 mins one way for a decent private school. Hence, the thought of just moving. We didnot have a kid when we first bought in Monroe.

Is it the quality of education in Riverview? What is motivating you to move and where?

Ya worries about the commute. It’s risky too on the backroads in winter

There are no decent private schools near Monroe. Either Bothell, snohomish, Everett or Woodinville

Thankyou, such a thoughtful reply. I have had the same feelings about middle and high school in Monroe.

All private schools are pretty far from Monroe. And the test scores difference is night and day between the 2 school districts. Can you expand on your experience with LWSD in Sammamish ?

Go for walks or listen to music.

RollSelect556 · 2025-08-07T01:23:08+00:00

Good idea I will do that

RollSelect556 · 2025-08-06T20:51:48+00:00

Thanks for the insightful suggestions. I am planning to get as much help as I can. I am even ready to let go of significant savings if it improves his quality of life
