School Overview

Nathan Hale High School sits in the Lake City and Wedgwood neighborhoods of northeast Seattle, an area that feels a bit more residential and removed from the bustle of the city's core — in the best way. The school has built a strong reputation for its project-based learning approach and tight-knit community feel, which tends to draw families who want rigorous academics without the pressure-cooker atmosphere of some of Seattle's more intensely competitive schools. With English and Math scores both landing in the upper 80th percentiles statewide, it's a genuinely strong option for families planting roots in that corner of the city.
