Rainier Beach High School

Rainier Beach High School

Share

Rainier Beach was built in 1960 as a combined junior and senior high. It opened with 845 students in junior and 412 students in senior high.

By 1967 the school had a population of 2,159 students. 659 students over capacity. Rainier Beach has a history of innovation. From 1973 to 1983 students built an experimental plane. Followed by the Belief Academy and the Teen Health Center. Now we are paving the way again with the IB Diploma program as a part of our comprehensive school system, and one of Seattle Public Schools.
