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.
