Lake Washington is a recognized leader in sustainability practices and education. Schools around the district encourage students to actively participate in sustainable practices with special events in April to celebrate Earth Day on April 22.
Each student will graduate prepared to lead a rewarding responsible life as a contributing member of our community and greater society.
Student Centered
We believe that every student can learn and achieve at high levels. It is our responsibility to help students find connection and value in learning, and to challenge all students to learn, grow, and succeed academically.Learn more about how LWSD is Student Centered
Learning Focused
We love learning. We provide a continuum of student learning opportunities and services. Our staff engages in best practice professional learning, and we embrace an ongoing cycle of organizational learning and improvement.
Accelerated Programs
These programs are designed to meet the learning styles and needs of students with superior intellectual, academic, and creative abilities.
Special Education
Special education is not a “place:” rather, it is a set of services. The district’s goal is to partner with families regarding the individual needs of children.
Career & Technical Education
Career and technical education (CTE) courses and programs help prepare students for a wide range of post-secondary high demand, skill, and wage opportunities.
Curriculum
Provides leadership for standards-based teaching and assessing to increase student access and engagement, close achievement and opportunity gaps, and support student learning and success.
Intervention Services
Intervention services help students acquire English language proficiency, services for Native American students, and services designed to help mitigate the effects of poverty on student learning and success in school.
English Learners
The EL program supports students in developing English language proficiency and academic success in all areas.
Results Oriented
We believe results matter. As a high-performing district, we continuously monitor and analyze student achievement results and organizational results. Results help us determine where to focus, how we can improve, and how we can better serve students.
