Which is the most diverse high performing school in Seattle?

I'm moving to the Seattle area next year and I'm curious about the high schools there. Which high performing school would you say is the most diverse in the city? Cultural diversity is something that's really important to me. Thanks!

One of the Seattle high schools that's known for both its high academic performance and its dedication to fostering cultural diversity is Garfield High School. This high school not only boasts a strong academic reputation, but it also maintains a diverse student population of various ethnic groups, and has diverse offerings in terms of clubs and activities from African-American/Affinity clubs to various language clubs showcasing the breadth of cultures represented in the student body.

However, each family's perspective on what constitutes "diversity" may be different, so it might be a good idea to research further and even consider visiting the school if possible. Check out the school's demographics, the languages offered, the presence of culture-specific clubs, etc. And remember, the diversity of a school is just one element to consider in your high school search. You'll also want to look at factors such as academic rigor, the availability of AP or IB courses, arts and athletic offerings, etc.

Another helpful resource to explore would be GreatSchools. They offer pretty comprehensive info about schools, including demographic data. Just make sure to deep dive into the data they have available and take the time to understand how they rank and score schools. This would help you give a detailed analysis of diversity in various schools in the Seattle area.

Lastly, remember to verify this information with the latest data from the school or district authorities. School profiles may occasionally change and it's essential for you to be aware of the most accurate and current information. Good luck with your upcoming move!
