Timberline High School, Lacey | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I just now got my diploma a whole year after I graduated. You know how badly I needed my diploma since then? A month or two after my graduation, I get the news that the counselor miscalculated my credits by .25 credits. I couldn’t even afford the extra class I needed because there was no job decent paying enough to even pay rent, let alone another class. If it wasn’t for luck blessing me with the opportunity, I would still been stuck in this situation. Then I had to wait an extra 2 months after finishing that one class I needed because they had “obligations to current students they needed to attend to” before and after summer break. Other than the counselor’s and the registrar’s lack of taking responsibility, the school was alright. Shout out to Mr. Raben, Ms. Taylor, Fred Graner, and Ms. Hogan for being excellent teachers. I’d give each one of you guys a 5 star rating. The one star rating I’m giving is for all the trouble I went through between my walk at grad to now, just to see my diploma have it say “2017” rather than “2016” like it’s supposed to. Don’t be afraid to call the district if anything like this ever happens to you, because you will get put on the back burner and forgotten about unless you do something about it.

If I could give this school zero stars I would. The teachers and the other staff help the students who don’t want to be there more then they help the students who ask for it. If you don’t want to do any of your work, be best friends with all of the staff and get away with no only breaking the rules, but vandalizing stuff than go to timberline. Ive only been here for my freshman year (and the year isn’t even up) and about once a week I ask my parents if we can move so I can go to a school that caturs towards students that want to be there, but sadly they have not moved my schools. Again if you are looking for a good education don’t come here. I am not the only one who thinks this, one of my best friends dropped out and got his GED because the staff was practically refusing to see him or help him. Go to a different school, I would suggest one outside of the North Thurston School District. I have had a horrible dealing with counselors, teacher, students, and other staff members, since the fist grade (and I’m now in 9th grade).

I’m sure it’s a good school but my son had his first track meet here and they have the smallest stadium I had ever seen and the worst, it was so bad first I thought we were at a middle school.
