JulieMemberIt could be useful to parents who don’t know what all the options are to have a list of WS schools, including contact info or website links. Where would be a good place to put this, WSB?

WSBKeymasterI am working on that but will probably take me till late tonight to finish it. I’d like to create a separate schools page, and hopefully will be able to create room for it with the tabs above. Anybody who sees this between now and say midnight, sending your link would be helpful, otherwise I will be pulling ’em all up off the web.

addParticipantYou can go to the Seattle Schools website and get two lists: West Seattle North and West Seattle South. Click each school and get general contact info plus a link to their website.

addParticipantOh – and on the Seattle Schools page for each school you can also link directly to that specific school’s annual report, which provides all the data on the school (test scores, diversity/demographics, etc.)

WSBKeymasterthanks! good reminder. it’s been a few years since we ourselves had to do major huge in-depth school research. the tricky part here is going to be including all the private schools – we know most of them off the top of our heads but we’re sure we’ll miss somebody inadvertently … everybody check back in the morning and see what we came up with :) (3 AM ADDENDUM, that will be more like LATE morning – about 2/3 of the way there tho) 6:20 PM PPS, still working on it! I never learned the lesson about “underpromise and overdeliver” …

WSBKeymasterfinally done!

find it from the “schools” tab atop any page
will add some more resources over the weekend but for now we think it’s a fairly comprehensive list of schools with their weblinks and also maps showing where they are. thanks again for the idea.

acemotelParticipantThanks for the great list of West Seattle Schools. Seattle Times has a good school guide for a citywide perspective that might be useful for those contemplating a private school outside of WS:

JulieMemberNicely done! It would have been a very helpful starting place to me when I was investigating both public and private schools for my children (back in arpanet days, though).

addParticipantAnother resource for pre-school info can be found on the West Seattle PEPS website – it’s about 2 years old but still good at-a-glance info:

WSBKeymasterYes, the PEPS page gave me a couple preschool names I hadn’t found otherwise – those are the hardest ones to come up with; I thought briefly of not including preschools but realized that would be silly, sometimes that’s the toughest decision – where should your kid START school!? Ours went to Lincoln Park Co-op for the very first experience of not dealing with parental types – the co-op concept of “one day you (parent) stay and help, the other day he’s here with the teacher and other parents” was also helpful for our transition as well as his!
