I moved to Bellevue for the high-quality public schools. Since then, my four kids have matriculated through elementary, middle, and high school. I’ve learned the Bellevue School District has the highest percentage of National Board Certified Teachers in Washington and ranks near the top nationally. Students and parents consistently rate those teachers highly. I'm so thankful for the support Bellevue Schools Foundation provides for this critical program.

The staff goes above and beyond to create an inclusive, thoughtful, and fun environment—one that helps my student grow, build friendships, and challenge themselves. If you’re looking for a place where your child can form lifelong friendships, ask questions, and truly be seen, this is it. |

Cherry Crest is an incredible place of learning for our students. With strong partnerships with our PTSA, staff and students, I feel honored to serve as the administrator at this school and value the relationships that make Cherry Crest such an amazing place to be! I love how committed our educators are and their focus on building social emotional learning skills to focus on the whole child. I value the strong partnership with families and the desire our students have to be involved as leaders and strong advocates for change.
